Willow In the Wind & Splatterball

Willow in the Wind - Have a group of 8-12 students stand in a  tight circle, shoulder to shoulder. Instruct them to put one foot back to give them a wide base, and to put their arms up in front of them with palms facing outward. Explain that this is called the "spotting position," and it is how they will support and protect someone who chooses to be in the middle of the circle. The people in the circle will provide the "wind" for the "willow."

Splatterball - Is a group of at least 5 students starting in a circle, a ball is thrown in the air anyone can retrieve it, once the ball is in the students hands he is allowed 3 steps then must throw the ball at another player, if the ball is caught the thrower is out, if it hits another student they are out. Once a player is out the only to get back in the game is if the person that hit you or caught your ball is out. Once all players are out the game is over.
