Seated Volleyball

OBJECT - Don't let the ball touch the ground!

GAME TYPE - One team games.

WHO'S IT FOR - Group One. You need at least six people to make the game work well.

WHAT YOU NEED - Either a beach ball or a balloon, and chairs

HOW TO PLAY:
  1. All players sit in chairs in a circle.
  2. One player hits the beach ball or balloon up in the air.
  3. Another player hits the ball when it comes down.
  4. Repeat this as long as possible. Don't let the ball touch the ground!
  5. No player may hit the ball twice in a row.
  6. No player may leave their seat to hit the ball.
  7. No spikes are allowed (hitting the ball very hard).
  8. Score one point for the team every time the ball is hit successfully. If the ball hits the ground, start the scoring over.
  9. Try to get the highest score possible!

You can also play a more individual version, where players get points if they hit the ball and someone else can hit it before it touches the ground.

THIS WORKS ON - Teamwork (working together to achieve the highest score possible), eye-hand coordination (being able to see the ball and hit it so others can hit it), following directions (being able to follow the rules), attending (paying attention to when the ball comes to you).
