-the students are dividede into two teams and are told to sit quietly on a designated line for each team
-explain to the students that a space shuttle/bomb has exploded and they have to pick up their designated pieces (blue or Yellow balls) before the other team to put it back together
-you begin with a count-down from 10 (the students join in and they love it), and throw out all the balls all over the gym
-the students then beging to collect their balls one at a time and place them in the basket
-if they pick up more than one there is a penalty..put in 2 then you throw out 4, 3 in 6 out, etc.
-when they have collected all their balls then they sit quietly on the line trying to get a point for their team
-variations: tell them to toss and catch to the basket, bounce and catch, soccer dribble, basketball dribble.
-sometimes they will miss a ball and then one person will run and pick it up quickly
-my students love this game
