FRISBEE NINJA

Define a playing area and distribute Frisbees to about 1/4 of the class.

Those with Frisbees are the 'frisbee ninjas' and their job is to move around and with skill and accuracy throw the Frisbees to hit others below the shoulders. Those who are hit must squat down.

Those squatting may be freed by any other free player. If you catch a frisbee then the ninja bobs down and you become one.

EQUIPMENT: Frisbees; gator skins; cones.

AREA REQUIRED: Basketball courts or larger area.

HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO VARY THE ACTIVITY

Variation 1: Any frisbee can be picked up by any free person. Catching one means the thrower bobs down. If a frisbee lands near a person bobbed down and they can reach it without moving their feet, then they can rejoin as well. Ninjas may throw to people bobbed down to get them back in the game.

Variation 2: Iron balls (Gators) can also be included, with the same function as the frisbees.

Variation 3: Frisbee Ninjas may not move when in possession of a frisbee.
