As a future physical educator we are taught to question for understand, and I like how you incorporated your questioning into the video! A great game as well.
Questioning is so important, helping kids make those important connections is one of the best things we can do as teachers - glad you guys are learning that early!
Thanks for all you do! What are the signs you have in different colors at the top of your gym? I'm incorporating a lot of your ideas and am curious about that one. Appreciate it!
It's our Locomotor movements that we focus on in K and 1st grade - each color is a different word: Skip, Slide, Walk, Jog, Gallop, Leap, Hands and Feet - just different ways to move
Awesome video! We have one coming up soon that features a similar game. These are great alternatives to human target games, and the kids still have a blast playing them!
Use teamwork, move quickly, try to move it to the closest line on your opponents side, roll a ball to try and jam/block the monster ball up when it gets close to your line
You can use any ball, a large exercise ball or cage ball works well, we have a big cage ball that we use sometimes, but in the video we are using a large exercise ball, not 100% sure but I'd estimate around 36"-40"
I think you could play it anywhere as long as you define the throw lines - instead of a square you might just have a middle zone that's a "No Throw Zone" and students try to move the monster ball across the opposite line by hitting it with a ball thrown from their side. I just use tally marks on a blank page for a scoresheet.
I'd estimate mine is about 20 x 20, but you might want something smaller or bigger depending on your kids skill and the ball you're using. Try it out and see what works
+Dirk Van Stralen II Anything that's soft and won't hurt if a kid gets smacked in the face during the game. I use a combo of 6" gatorskin balls (coated foam) and 7-9" Slo Mo Balls (something similar to this amzn.to/1rYDAS7)

Looks like a fun game. About how many balls do you have out for the students to throw at the monster ball?
Have played this game for years. My students love Monster Ball!
Where I work we did it today and the kids LOVE it. This game was so crazy. Thanks for the posting the game.
+Kody Bess Nice, glad you guys had fun!

Samantha Priddy how did it go?
Do you think this would work for first grade? I'm subbing PE until our school gets a new PE teacher. Thankful for all you video's!
You could try it with a smaller or lighter ball and a smaller boundary. I normally play with 2nd grade an up
Love this idea. How can do this without a gym. I use a wide cafeteria. Could anyone help?
Where do you get gator balls/ score card sheet

Great game! My students would play this everyday if I would let them.
Anyone have ideas or tips on how to make this work playing on a blacktop which is slightly slanted?
Have the teams switch sides after each round to make it fair?
What are the dementions of the middle square?
I'd estimate mine is about 20 x 20, but you might want something smaller or bigger depending on your kids skill and the ball you're using. Try it out and see what works
where can u find those balls
Anywhere online or a sports equipment retailer - they are usually called exercise balls or yoga balls
hi there, what kind of ball do the kids throw? thanks :)
