Blanket Volleyball: Help One Another
Supplies:
- long rope
- 2 chairs
- blankets or twin flat sheets (1 for every 5 kids)
- foam balls (3 for each blanket)
Let’s Play!
You can play this game indoors or outdoors (weather permitting). First tie a long rope to two chairs and stretch it across your room.
Form two teams and have teams stand on opposite sides of the rope. Give each team a small blanket or twin sheet.
Have team members hold the edges of their team’s blanket. Throw several small, foam balls on one team’s blanket. Have those team members work together to toss the balls from their blanket over the rope to the other blanket.
Encourage kids on the receiving side to try to catch all the balls. Then have them toss the balls back to the other side. Continue tossing several times or until children tire of this game.
After the game, have children gather around you.
Ask:
- When did you feel like your team was winning in the game? Why were you winning?
- Why is it important for friends to help one another?
- How do you help your friends?
