Messy Rooms

Age Range: 5 to 11

You will need 20 tennis balls. Split the hall / gym in half and split the class in 2 groups.

The aim of the game is to have the least amount of balls at your side. The children will roll all their tennis balls to the other side of the room, while the other team tries to pass them all back. After a fixed amount of time, count up the number of tennis balls on each side.

The side with the lowest number of tennis balls is the winner!


Sue has suggested this variation... You can play a similar game using pieces of screwed up newspaper and a centre line. On 'go' the children throw the balls of paper across the other side and when 'stop' is signalled the team with the least paper balls wins.
