Tower Topple - Outcome A (7-9)-5

Overhand Throwing

Team A and Team B are on opposite sides of the gym, separated by the center line. Each team has 12 Hula Hoops. They use these to create four towers, each made from three Hula Hoops (one on the floor, the remaining two leaning against each other in the floor hoop). The towers are located on the back line of each team’s half.

Students have access to a multitude of foam-filled or other soft balls. The object of the game is to knock over the other team’s four towers.

Once a tower is knocked over, the team rebuilds the tower. There is no limit as to how many times a tower may be knocked over and set up again.

The game ends after a prescribed time limit.

Allow students to set up the towers anywhere in their half of the gym, rather than only at the back line.

Use smaller balls to increase the level of difficulty.

Use a smaller target to increase the level of difficulty.

Allow one student to stand guard in front of the target. This introduces more strategy to the game.
