BATTLE SHIP
GRADE
LEVELS: 1-6
EQUIPMENT:
4 to 6 blue landing mats, 30+ gatorskin balls, foam footballs, bowling pins, 4 to 6 scooters.
GAME
SETUP: Setup the landing mats on the outsides lines of the basketball court (see diagram). Each landing mat needs four
bowling pins placed on the front of the mat. Each team gets one scooter called a life raft. 1st and 2nd
grade use pennies/jerseys instead of scooters.
GAME
PLAY: Once all the balls are in the middle circle, the music turns on and the game begins. The life rafts rush into the
middle and retrieve ammo for their ships. The object of the game is to be the last boat standing. When all four pins are down
on your boat, you are sunk and can no longer throw balls, you can only roll them at other ships. If you knock down a pin on
another boat, your boat can put one pin back up. It is one pin for every throw that knocks down a pin, not pin for pin. When
it gets sown to two boats, stop the game and have rock paper scissors to settle the winner. Restart another round until you
have had enough.
VARIATIONS:
Use pennies/jerseys instead of scooters.
