Get students into pairs standing opposite each other about 4metres apart. One ball each. Students roll the ball towards each other. If the ball hits in the middle, the pair score a point. If the ball misses, the pairs don’t score a point.

Modifications

Throwing the ball and making it clash in the air. Move closer or further apart to alter difficulty. Change the size of the ball to make it easier or harder. Kick the balls instead of rolling using your hands. Join pairs of students together and make all of the balls in the group clash.

Activity Set-up

• Divide participants into pairs. Each pair chooses four objects to act as targets and one object to throw. 
• Have partners find their own space. One partner holds the ball. The other partner sets up four targets at distances that will offer various levels of challenge.

Activity Instructions

• The participant who set up the targets identifies which target he or she wants to challenge his or her partner to hit.
• The participant with the object throws it underhand toward the selected target. 
• If the participant who threw the ball knocks down a target other than the selected one, his or her partner sets that target up again and continues to do so until the chosen target has been knocked down. If no targets were knocked down, the partner retrieves the ball and the thrower tries again. 
• Once the selected target has been knocked down, the participant who set up the targets selects another target for his or her partner to hit. 
• Participants try to knock down all four targets within ten throws. After ten tries or all targets have been knocked down, participants change roles.

Modifications

Increase the distance between the throwing line and the target. Use their non-dominant hand to throw the object underhand. Send the object in a different way (e.g., overhand throw). Use an implement (e.g., hockey stick, racquet) to send the object.

Special Needs Modifications

Decrease the distance between the throwing line and the target. Use only large targets. Choose which target they would like to try to knock down.

Students are split into two teams, the "Dodgers" and the "Rollers". Rollers stand on a spot along the sideline, with a ball each. On "Go" the dodgers must try to get to the finish line without getting hit by a ball. If a dodger gets hit then the person that hit them gets a point. If the dodger makes it all the way to the finish line without being hit then they get a point. Once all the dodgers are through, the whistle will sound and the rollers collect their balls and return to the spots. After the dodgers have had a few turns the teams swap over.
