Objective

Students will use their strength as well as their sportsmanship skills through this game.

Materials

• a large ball, preferably a medicine ball

Method

• Ask students to gather in a circle.
• Pull a mat and place it in the middle of the circle.
• Call up two students, and ask them to sit on their knees, facing each other.
• Place the ball in between them, and ask them to wrap their arms around the ball.
• When you say go, the students then proceed to try to wrestle the ball out of their partner’s arms. If they do, they gain a point. The first player to get two points wins, and gets to go against another student.
• Continue playing the game until there is one student left.
