I selected 4-5 students to be inside the mats and they really loved that part of getting the balls back out to the students. I only had one rule, that the students on the outside could not slam dunk the ball. John Theiss wrote: on Jan 12, 2010 07:39 PM This is a great activity. I play similar games called Oscar and Grouch, and one for volleyball. For Oscar the Grouch, instead of shooting into the mats, students throw into the mats. For summer school i had special needs students and they loved this game. For volleyball serving and bumping, i also used a similar concept and had students take turns bumping and serving into the mat from different distances. Thanks for the idea for Bball, John Laura Schultze wrote: on Mar 16, 2010 02:46 PM I too have used this for teaching underhand toss (Oscar's Garbage Can) but never thought to use it for teaching shooting. My student's LOVED it! Instead of having students inside tossing balls out though, I propped the mats up on two vaulting boxes so that the balls would drop down and roll out. I did need to add a rule about waiting for the balls to be pushed out so that the students would not try to crawl under the mat to get them. Propping the mats up saved time from having to switch out students every few minutes.
