Grade Level: 3-5

Arrange mats as a wall across the middle of the playing area. Create two teams of players, and give one team gator balls. At the teacher signal, the students with the balls roll them toward the other team and then hide behind the mats. The other students try to kick the balls as hard as they can. Students collect the balls and repeat. Switch teams and play again.
