Rhythm Basketball

Ready for a little competition??

This game was created by three of our very own St. Andrews Gr. 6 students!

Thank you to Kennedy, Damian and Dylan!

Game Equipment -

- 10-15 rhythm cards either created by the players or printed from the link in the musical minute (or two) resources

- one "basket" (chose a clean garbage can, pot or pan from the kitchen, etc.)

- 3 "basketballs" for each player (use whatever safe throwing object you'd like or maybe the snowballs from the snowball fight posted the other day)

Game Set-Up -

- Place the basket in the center of the room and use some tape to designate shooting spots for each player at equal distances away from the basket

- Set all of the rhythm cards upside down in another area of the room.

Game Play -

- Count down from 5 together and let the game begin!!

- Each player aims for the basket and keeps shooting until they successfully get one in

- When a player scores a basket, they immediately run to the rhythm cards, flip over the top card and clap the rhythm. If they clap it correctly, they earn a point. They will take the card back to their designated shooting spot and work towards another basket.

- The game is over when all of the rhythm cards are gone.

- The player with the most rhythm cards is the winner!

Have fun!!
