LOL Thanks a Bunch for the game. Drew Martin wrote: on Feb 04, 2010 05:56 PM I know it cropped half of my head off... Shannon, if you have 48 hula-hoops you could make 8 sections in a pizza layout, with the houses towards the crust. I have done this successfully with grades 3-11!

I didn't see your post in time about a pizza layout, but I modified it into 8 sections that works for our gym. I added a student with a jersey, who is the designated ball retriever for their team. They are the only ones allowed to leave their section. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! I think we have a winner! Paul Ballat wrote: on Feb 05, 2010 08:01 PM Andrew - I like the activity and the modifications. I think it would be fun to have the targets (hoop houses) in designated areas where students would try to hit them from any angle. This would also mean students would then rotate to different houses, so one group doesn't have an advantage over the others. Let me know what you think.

The kids also get a 5 second countdown immediately after their house is rebuilt to get blockers back in place. This helps them stay in the game a little longer before a house is knocked down again. LOVE this game! They request it ALL the time. Have played with 2 through 6th grade.
