TeachPhysEd: Speed Ball

Fun game I created a few months ago.  Grades 4th and 5th seemed to enjoy it a lot.  This is a great game that middle school and high school students would enjoy.  You don't need a lot of equipment.  Just a tennis ball and hula hoop. 



My coworker and I got very addicted to this game.  We spent some of our planning period playing it.  It involves hand-eye coordination, striking, and strategy thinking.  If you think of any adaptations please let me know!



Keep on moving,

Ben

  1. This looks like a fun activity. I might try it with half the class while fitness testing the others. It looks hard. Do they pick it up quickly?

  2. I’m going to do this with my high school students as a lead in to tennis.
