Game
Play “Snowball Fight and Forts”
Using Packaging peanuts or paper towels shaped into a tennis ball size and shape and wrapped in plastic wrap as “snowball”, arrange a few “hideouts” = Mats placed on edge, boxes walls, etc- within a playing area of 10 meters/30 feet x 10 meters/30 feet. Using at least as many snowballs as there are players, upon “Go!”, players throw snowballs to “tag” any other players, once “tagged” players must do three floppies and two snow angels on the sidelines, then return to the game. Advise players only throw within a given distance (about 2 meters/6 feet is a good standard)
*Coaches Notes:
Have at least as many snowballs as there are players, 2-3x is best
Pauses can be called to (polar bear crawl only) collect snowballs when supplies are low Stealing snowballs may be permitted as desired “anyone under 7 can steal 1 snowball from any other player over 7”
Add complexity or handicap talent by using non dominant throwing hand
