Snake Dodge Ball

Area

Any open area

Equipment

A soft nerf ball

Instructions

Class is divided into three equal teams. Teams 1 and 2 form a large circle about 8-10 metres in diameter, while team 3 form a single file holding onto the person in front. This single file is formed in the centre of the circle. The single file is called the snake with the last student in line being the snakes tail. The outside two teams are given a soft nerf ball and attempt to pass the ball around the circle in order to get a clear shot at the snakes tail. The snake must move around, without breaking their line, to avoid a hit on the tail. In order for a hit to be successful it must hit the tail of the snake on the full or off the ground below waist level. Once the tail has been hit, the student breaks off the snake and joins the outside circle while the snake moves around trying to protect the new tail. This process continues until the whole snake has been eliminated or until a set time has elapsed. Team 3 then join the outside circle and Team 1 become the snake. Winning team should be that which lasts the longest as the snake

Variation

Use smaller teams or multiple nerf balls
