Pin Down!

Students each guard a bowling pin. The objective of the game is to throw dodgeballs to knock down other students bowling pins. When a student has their pin knocked down, they go to the end of a short line and the first person in line goes to that tipped over pin. Students can leave their pin but if it gets knocked over while they are picking up dodgeballs they are out. Also, if a student knocks down their own pin they are out.

We play this and my students love it! To add some extra aerobic activity, I give everyone a pin, when their pin falls, they must run around the gym before they are allowed to play again! I also do it the way you showed as well! Line moves fast when out! We call it "Hector the Protector"

I play the same game but everyone has a pin so that there is no waiting time. In my game, students are allowed to leave their pin to go get a loose ball that is not being used but they must go back to their pin to throw the ball. If a student gets their pin knocked over, they have to go to the outside of the gymnasium and perform a fitness activity (jumping jacks, push-ups, sit-ups, etc.) 5 times and then they may go back to their pin, stand it up and play again.

We do something very similar where every student has a pin and a ball but we call ours "ghost busters". Great Halloween activity!

Great Activity. Done it with a group of only 5 kids and they did not stop moving for a second. I started with just rolling the ball, and added the cikcing and the throwing during the activity, so the level of difficulty was changed all the time.
