Tank Battle: Game
Tank War: Game
Setup: A net/ribbon/line must be put up across the middle of the class room as in the pictures below. (Students will be throwing a ball over the Ribbon from a seated position on the floor in the games) I put a green ribbon at about eye level so it is pretty difficult, if you have younger students (4-8) I would make another lower level. I used some tape, ribbon and clips that cost me about $1.50. I used clips so I could remove the ribbon as needed during class if necessary. (I also had rule that the student that touched the ribbon at any point during class lost all points for his/her team, which made things more interesting as well)
Roll the dice to go around the board game with the playing piece.
Games:
Tank Battle: One student from each team sits on opposing sides of the classroom wherever they want. Students then take turns throwing the ball OVER the ribbon to try and hit the other student (It must be a DIRECT hit to count, not off the walls, or floor or other students). Students may not move from their places at any point in the game. Students who are getting shot at may not move and I encourage them to get in a fetal position so they don't dodge the ball or get hit in the face. If the first game goes quickly the teacher can choose 2 more children to play. The winner of each game is awarded 5 points.
* I also have a ball boy/girl to grab the ball and give it to the next player to make things run more smoothly
Tank War: Same game except the entire two teams sit on the floor and may not move from their positions. When a student is shot, they return to their seats, as they are out. The game continues until all of the other team has all been shot, or when 25 shots have been fired. If the game goes until 25 shots, then the team with more tanks still in the game is the winner. The winner of Tank Wars are awarded 20 points.
*To go faster, students who get the ball can then instantly shoot. Also students can throw the ball to another tank on their team if they have a better shot at the opponent. As opposed to the tank battle, there is no trading off of shots, just wherever the ball goes, that student picks up the ball and throws (at opponents or as a pass to another tank from their team)
*If students cannot sit nicely, or keep moving when a ball is thrown at them, they are OUT.
*Students may sit anywhere. As in some pictures below, some students sit close to the net so it is more difficult to be hit, but then also more difficult for them to shoot...
*Remember to ONLY allow DIRECT hits. Once the ball has hit the wall or floor children can pick up the ball.
