Battle Ship
Length: 30 mins
Age Range: Elementary (6-12yrs old)
Space Requirements: Large Open Space
Supply List: 3-4 Balls
Description:
Players line up on one edge of the playground, and are to run to some other edge of the playground determined by the leader. One player starts off ‘it’ and is armed with many (3-4) utility balls. They must stay just outside of the playground boundaries, and tell the players when to begin play. When the person who is ‘it’ says ‘BATTLE SHIP’ players must run to the designated edge of the playground without getting tagged by one of the balls. If they are tagged by the ball, they join the players who are it outside of the playground boundaries. If they are not tagged by one of the balls, they are still safe, and are able to continue play when the players who are ‘it’ say ‘BATTLE SHIP’. Play continues until all players are tagged with a utility ball, the last player tagged becomes the first player ‘it’ the next round.
