Parachute Tag: Lift the parachute high into the air.
The first team to 5 points wins! Keep in mind this activity can be tough with our very large parachute.ħ. KEY = DO NOT ALLOW PARTICIPANTS TO USE THEIR HANDS TO BAT DOWN A BALL – THEY MUST KEEP TWO HANDS ON THE CHUTE AT ALL TIMES. The leader tosses the ball into the chute and teams attempt to bounce the ball off the opponents side. Volleyball - Divide your group into two teams (use midcourt line of gym to identify).
Popcorn - Place objects on the chute and when the leader says go, the participants attempt to set the world record by getting all objects bounced off!Ħ. After the time is up everyone who is out steps out of the playing area and you line up again for another skirmish. The crowns can only be knocked off by the noodles (no hands, feet, tackling, or head butts!). A person is out when their crown is knocked off their head. On a signal they charge and fight for a designated short period of time.
The two teams line up about 15 or more feet away from each other, facing off. One team puts the crowns on normal and the other team puts them on inside out (the crowns must be above the ears). Noodle Knights - Divide into 2 teams and give each player a 3 foot piece of foam noodle and a Burger King crown. The first team to make it to the turnaround point and back wins.Ĥ. If the ball falls, the entire team returns to the beginning and starts over. Once the ball is over their heads, the team must move as a group to the turnaround point and back to the starting line without dropping the ball. No one may touch the ball with their hands. Specify a starting line and turnaround point for each team – and make it a RACE! The ball cannot be touched with anything at anytime but the noodles! Teams stand at the starting line and work together to lift the ball with the noodles. Divide into groups, give every player a noodle and give every team a ball. World Cup – Goal is to carry a beach-ball as far as possible using pool noodles. A consideration – use the basketball court key as an area that limits the number of people that can enter – a goalie and perhaps one more defensive player as well as two offensive players. Noodle Hockey - Score goals against the other team, using pool noodles and Wiffle balls! Each player uses a noodle as a hockey stick, the Wiffle balls are used as pucks. Modification 3): All Against One - all players try to attach their mosquitoes to the victim while he defends himself with a pool noodle.Ģ. Modification 2): Allow multiple mosquitoes to attack if given a certain command by the leaders. Modification 1): Have certain color-coded clothespins that result in more points being awarded. The team that places the most mosquitoes on the players in the middle wins. If the blindfolded person swats a mosquito (hits a player with their noodle), the swatted player returns to their team. This is a team activity with one swatter per team.you may want to employ a mechanism to change the mosquito swatter.and if you let them continuously swat from side to die, up and down, then it’s gonna be tough to get bit – and if folks aren’t getting’ bit they may lose interest! Players from each team take turns approaching the players in the middle and attempting to attach clothespins to their clothing. Mosquito – you know mosquitoes like to attach themselves to people! The goal is to put as many mosquitoes (clothespins) as possible on the blindfolded players in the middle swatting ‘em with their pool noodle. My plan was to mostly use the lice-and-poop-free stuff I got online, while also adding a dollop of the Rhode Island stuff that I’d gotten while exercising my constitutional rights.1. I tried to get it shipped online in time for St. The modern convenience of shipping via Amazon Prime, no sandy shoes required, no dog poop included. Would eating it actually kill me? Farzan said to make sure I checked it for sea lice and dog poop.Īnd so that’s how I got to be ordering, that same day, some Irish sea moss online. She said that for personal consumption, it’s better to get the stuff fresh out of the water, not the stuff that’s been sitting out on the beach. I got a response from Antonia Noori Farzan, a Providence Journal reporter who knows her stuff.
But I had also made the mistake of tweeting about it. So this clump of seaweed, in addition to being packed with nutrients, also was packed with symbolic meaning.
