In between rounds you can offer refinements and throwing tips as needed. You can use any type of soft ball, but the one’s I’m using in the video are 7-8″ uncoated foam balls which aren’t super durable, but are really awesome for little kids because it is IMPOSSIBLE to get hurt when taking one to the face.ĭuring the game I remind students to go to “Jail” if they break a rule (although some of them are honest and actually put themselves in jail)

I use my “trash meter” to count the trash in both yards, and the one with the least trash is the winner, winner, chicken dinner! No one throws any trash after the music stops. Last thing, when the music stops, everybody stops. Only use the designated throw (no kicking).Don’t cross the fence and trespass in the other teams yard.

Only pick up one piece of trash at a time.

Good game! Nice job! Way to go! Congrats!

I’m not worried about who wins and who loses, I just want to make sure my kids practice their throwing skills, BUT it is a great opportunity to practice being a good sport and congratulating the other team when they win 🙂 Pro tip: The team with the most trash in their yard at the end of the game loses. When the game starts, you pick up the trash (balls) and throw it into the other team’s yard. When you get done with it, hopefully your brain is working again, and you stop doing things that are illegal. If you trespass into the other team’s yard, you have to go to jail (the bench), and sing the ABC song. Crossing the fence is trespassing, which is also illegal. There are two teams and two yards, with an invisible fence between them. Getting Yard of the month is no joke… and sometimes your neighbors can get sneaky and “misplace” their trash in your yard. If you get yard of the month, you’re pretty much the BOSS in the neighborhood that month and walk around like… They have a competition to see who has the nicest looking yard and the house that has the nicest-looking yard gets a sign that says “yard of the month” in their yard (major cool points). This game is based on the same thing that happens in my neighborhood every month… I normally focus on underhand throwing with my K-1st students and switch to overhand throwing as my focus for my 2nd graders. You can also modify the game to work on kicking skills, striking with paddles, or pretty much whatever skill you’d like to work on. In this game, you can focus on whatever throw you want or you can allow students to choose the throw they would like to work on. This game is an activity that allows you to work on throwing skills with younger students.
