Dance for Points: The team that landed here can have someone volunteer to dance for points. Depending on how good it was award points. If students are really young and into it, they could have a dance off between players from different teams. Also the teacher could have a dance off with the students. This is just a goofy space that younger children have fun with. If students are older and more shy, obviously it is a choice to dance and does not need to be pushed. If a team is losing the teacher could offer to double that teams points to inspire some dancing!
Sing for Points: The same as the Dancing for points except its asking students to sing a song. Again this is just for fun, students don't Need to participate, but if offered to double their points, you may see some older students have fun, and sing for points!
1 VS 1: One student from each team has a shootout. One student is the goalie, the other student is the thrower. The student must stand at a designated spot and throw the ball to try and earn points by hitting the wall. The points are shown on the wall in the picture above. After the throw the students switch and they play again. Each student gets a chance to throw, and then play goalie. When all have played the teams tally up their points and add them to the board.
Shootout: The teacher is the goalie. Each team goes back and forth throwing the ball to try and score on the teacher. The first team to get 3 or 5 goals is the winner of the shootout. The shootout team winner is then awarded 25 points.
Polo: The teacher is the goalie. 2 students from each team get to play Polo. Students must score on the teacher to win. Students can pass the ball back and forth, BUT, the student with the ball may not move their feet once in possession of the ball. Students playing defense may not touch the student with the ball. If a student moves while in possession of the ball, that team loses possession of the ball and the other team gets the ball. When a student scores, they are awarded 5 points. If the game is taking too long, then simply choose other students to play. Each student should get at least one chance to play polo each time the playing piece lands on that spot.
Young Students Polo: Teacher is the goalie. Choose 2 children from each team to play against each other. The teacher throws a few balls out into the classroom. Students must throw the balls from behind a line to score. The first student to score is the winner and is awarded 5 points. After a goal is scored, change the students that are playing, and play again so that all students get a chance to play.
