Team members must be standing next to each other at the beginning of each serve. Gameplay starts when a team member serves the ball off the net to the opposing player standing across from them.
Once the ball is served to the opposing team, possession has changed. The team then has three hits or less to spike the ball off the net to the other team.
As in volleyball, there are no double hits. You can either pass the ball to your teammate or spike it off the net. You are free to use any part of your body to hit the ball such as your feet, head, hands, or chest.
If a team hits the rim, the other team receives a point. If the ball double bounces on the net, the opposing team receives a point. Team members must try to avoid contact with the opposing team. When a team fails to hit the net within three hits, the other team gets a point. The first team to 21 wins. Have each group of partners link elbows— and all of the pairs form a large circle, allowing 10 feet of space between each pair.
If the child being chased needs a break—he or she can run to a pair of children and link elbows with one of them. A cooperative game … One or two people volunteer to be ant-eaters, the rest start out like ants. By tagging them, ant-eaters attempt to stun all of the ants on the anthill—while the ants struggle to avoid the ant-eaters —and rescue their friends.
For this game, you will need a gym floor with 4 squares or pavement and chalk. Draw a 6- to foot square on a paved surface. Divide the larger square into four smaller squares, number the squares 1 to 4, and have each child stand in a block. The player in square 4 serves the ball by bouncing it in his square and tapping the ball into another square. The player who misses the ball steps out and the remaining players rotate up through the numbered squares.
If you are playing with more than four players, a new player enters the game at square 1. The player who is out waiting in line to re-enter the game once square 1 is open again. Whoever is now in square 4 serves the ball to resume play. Draw a line in the dirt or field and get a rope. Number off the same amount on each side of the rope. The first team that gets the other team across their side of the line wins.
Caregivers and teachers—join in!!! To play kick the can , place a coffee can in a large open area to be home base. They both race to the can, and try to kick it first. Scatter out several hula hoop s around the play area. Assign taggers to freeze the other players. Students inside a hula hoop can not get frozen, but can only stay long enough to count to Only one child per hula hoop is allowed.
Draw the layout with the chalk — From bottom to top— 3 single squares, 1 double square, 2 single squares, 1 double square, 1 single square. Number the squares. The two basic rules of hopscotch are: 1 One foot in each square only 2 Hop over the square with the rock in it. Use a rock to throw into the first square. Hop on one foot over the square with the rock in it. Land with two feet on the double squares. On the second turn, throw the rock into the second square, and so forth.
The tricky part is staying on one foot when the rock is in one of the side-by-side squares. You will need some flags or a strip of cloth to be used as a tail. Players with the most tails collected at a specified time are the winners.
Game is good in the gym or outside. Divide the children into teams. They each select one child from each team to be the prisoner of the other team and the two prisoners are placed in jail. This can be a designated area or a chalk box if playing outside. The teams each line-up and the object of the game is to free the prisoner from the other team. If tagged, that child then becomes a prisoner too and must go to jail. If a child makes it to jail, however, he or she is safe as long as he is inside the prison.

Switch it up by using numbers, letters, or other pictures in the sections instead. Get green and brown strings and cut them into several pieces. Hide the pieces of yarn around the yard.
