Divide the class into 4 teams. Each team is a certain color. The object of the game is to shoot their gatorball into the trashcan before the other team does. A point is awarded to the team that does that. The teams are set up around the center of the basketball court. The trashcan is placed in the middle of the court. The teams are put at the same distance from the trash can (according to grade level/skill).

I just played this with my 3rd-5th graders. However, I modified it to make it more appropriate for my older students. Each team has two minutes to make shots into the trash. They use various shots from designated spots in the gym(set shot from @10 ft away, bounce shot from @20 ft away, granny shot from @20 ft away, and a 3 pt shot from @25 ft away). The students stay in constant rotation within their own team for the full 2 minutes. A set shot is worth 1 pt, bounce shot is worth 1 pt, granny shot is worth 2 pts, 3 pt is worth 3 pts and can be attempted using any style of shot. Teams keep track of their own scores and at the end of each two minute rotation, they report the scores to me out loud which I keep track of on the white board. I also added a rule mid-game that touching another teams ball was illegal. They loved this and they were sweating like crazy when they left!! Thank you Terri for the great game!!!
