Skittles - Physical Education Class Game

If you haven't heard of this game before, you need to try it out. It is fantastic! It's called Skittles and you will need 6 pins and elephant skin balls. The pins are set up in the four corners and sides of the gym. One in each corner, as well as one on each of the sidelines. There will be 6 students on the floor at a time. The rest of the class waits their turn in a line on the side (don't worry - the line moves fast!) Students are to defend their pin. When their pin is knocked down, they go to the back of the line and a new student will take over. Some students take risks, moving around the gym to knock down pins, whereas other students focus on defending their own pin so it doesn't get knocked down. The class will circulate through fast, but students need to be attentive. They need to see when a pin is knocked down and to move onto the court. It is so much fun! Remind students that there are no alliances. So try it out when you are looking for something new to try in your Phys.Ed class.
