Games:
2 vs. 1: This is a Monkey in the Middle game where two students play against one "Monkey". Students must stay on the Line on the floor that they are assigned to. The lines cross the room in a parallel state, where the "Monkey's" Line is in the middle. Students may move along their "Line" as much as they want. Students must pass the ball as many times as possible before the "Monkey" touches the ball. Students may pass the ball off the floor (bounce pass) or off walls in this game.
*Each pass can be points earned for their team.
*The team that earns more passes can be awarded the # of points that they scored.
*I added the amount of passes from multiple children playing from each team, then had the team with the most passes win 25 points.

4 vs. 1: 4 Children stand in the corners of the room with one student from the opposite team in the Middle as the "Monkey". Students must pass the ball as many times as possible without the ball touching the floor. Once the ball touches the floor, or the "Monkey" knocks the ball away, substitute some new players and a new "Monkey". Add the number of passes for the two rounds and that is the team's "score". Next have the other team play and see how many passes they can get in two rounds.
*The team that wins can be awarded 25 points
*The team that wins can be awarded the number of points that they accumulated
*The team that wins can be awarded 25 points
*The team that wins can be awarded the number of points that they accumulated
