March 1, 2015

Supplies

  • 4 Roller boards

How To Play

  • Similar to the old age game Hungry Hippos, strap 4 kids belly down on the roller board and tie the long elastic or rope around their waist.
  • Their partner will be standing at the corner reeling them in and out to grab as many balls as possible.
  • You could set a time limit and or wait until all the plastic balls have been grabbed from the center.
  • Have the other kids make a square around the players and toss back any balls into the center if they get thrown out of the circle.
