Rolling Rocks - Invasion Games
Physical Education Resource Description
"Rolling Rocks" is a dynamic and engaging invasion game that is perfect for physical education classes. The primary aim of the game is for players to use their rolling skills to knock tennis balls off the opponent's cones. The game is played with two teams competing against each other in a continuous flow until all the tennis balls have been dislodged from the cones. The fast-paced nature of the game ensures that participants remain active and focused throughout the session.
To set up the game, instructors will need 20 tennis balls, 20 marker cones – 10 of each colour to distinguish the teams – and 6 small soft balls or size 1 mini footballs, which will be used to roll towards the opposing team's cones. The playing area is set up with a row of 10 cones at each end of the hall, each topped with a tennis ball. A central line is marked, which players are not allowed to cross, ensuring that the game is played from a distance and relies on the accuracy and strength of the players' rolls. Teams are divided equally, and the rules are explained, setting the stage for an exciting and competitive game.
