Handball: King of the field

Setup:

- The children pretend to be small, fast motorcycles.  

- The ball serves as the "handlebar." Players must navigate obstacles while moving through the play area.  

- Actions include:  

- Moving slowly, quickly, sideways, or backward.  

- Changing direction or swapping balls during movement.  

- Overcoming obstacles such as jumping, balancing, or tossing and catching the ball while in motion.  

- Honking (making a noise) if another player gets too close.  

Make it More Challenging: 

- Players can **only walk on the lines** of the sports hall (representing roads).  

- If two players meet on the same line, they must **turn around**.  

- Dribble while following the lines.  

Obstacle Variations:

1. Crossing rivers: 

  - Hoops are placed slightly apart, requiring players to step into them to "cross."  

2. Wide river jumps:**  

  - Hoops placed farther apart; players must jump between them.  

3. Hanging bridge:**  

  - Balance along a thick rope or on benches (using the wide or narrow edge).  

4. Through the forest:**  

  - Cones and poles placed close together; players must avoid touching other players or obstacles.  

5. Crawling under a tunnel:**  

  - Create tunnels using benches covered with gym mats; players must crawl or slide underneath.

The children stand in a circle as close together as possible, so the ball can be easily passed around. When the game leader blows the whistle, the players start passing the ball to each other. The game leader then turns around and blows the whistle suddenly. The player holding the ball when the whistle blows is out.

Make it harder:

• Multiple balls can be passed around at the same time.
• The ball must be passed and caught over a short distance.
• Use bounce passes.
• Players must roll the ball, then pick it up and pass it by rolling it again.

Variations:

• Who’s left? The game continues until only one player remains who didn’t get caught with the ball when the whistle blew.
• Letter rule: Each time a player fails to catch the ball, they get a letter from the word "DONKEY" The first player to spell out the word "DONKEY" is the loser.
• Two teams in two circles: If playing with two circles (teams), the game can be played to see which team gets the first "donkey."
