Have your pupils scatter in a circle formation and have each one select a partner. The odd student out is "it" and should stand in the middle of the circle formation. If you have an even amount of players, you can play to make it uneven. When the odd person out yells, "back-to-back," all players must stand back-to-back with their partner. When he says, "face-to-face", all players must stand face-to-face with their partner. If the odd person out says, "change," all players must find a new partner and the odd person out tries to find a partner. After everyone has a partner, the person left without a partner is the new "it."
Divide the players into two teams and have each team get on one side of the gym or field. Line the middle of the field with approximately 30 beanbags. When you say, "Go," the pupils must try to throw the beanbags on the other side of the line. The object is to have fewer beanbags on your team's side at the end of five minutes. Blow the whistle after five minutes and tell the players to drop their beanbags. Count the beanbags on each side and the team with the least amount of beanbags on their side wins the game.
Tell your pupils to get in a circle and select one player to be "it." Blindfold the "it" player and tell him to stand in the middle of the circle. Hand one of the players in the circle a basketball or soccer ball to pass to one another. When you say, "Go," the players must pass the ball to one another. The "it" player should count to 10 (to himself) and when he reaches 10 he will yell, "Stop." The player who has the ball when he says stop is out of the game. Keep playing until one player remains, who is the winner of the game.
All pupils should sit in a circle around a mat for a game of get the ball. Place a medium- to large-size medicine ball in the middle and select two players of approximately the same size to compete first. Have the two players sit on their knees on opposite sides of the ball and wrap their arms around the ball. When you say, "Go," the pupils try to wrestle the ball away from one another. The first player to get the ball away from the other player earns a point and the first player to earn two points wins the game.
