Place a sheet of newspaper on the floor and stand next to it. Have a friend give you the following directions: 1. Place your right hand on a headline. 2. Place your left foot on a photograph. 3. Place your right knee on a noun. 4. Place your right foot on a number. Keep coming up with silly directions until you start laughing so hard that you can’t play anymore!

Two teams of 3 to 11 players. Two plastic shopping bags, and one Bubbleball (a plastic grocery bag wrapped around a chunk of bubble wrap). Anywhere—on sand, grass, even a basketball court. Standing at opposite ends of the playing area, one player from each team becomes his team’s “basket” by holding a shopping bag open; he can move the bag around to thwart the other team, but must keep the bag open and have one foot in place at all times. The object is to get the Bubbleball into the opposing team’s basket. The game is played like basketball,
except that players dribble by repeatedly hitting the ball in the air, palm up. Players can either shoot or dunk the ball into the basket. The team with the most baskets in 30 minutes of play wins. Standards Link: Physical Education: Students know there are opportunities for physical activity outside of school.
