Stop and Go is an outdoor ball game for kids that resembles Ultimate Frisbee (which in turn is a takeoff on American football). Each team tries to get the ball to their goal line while also preventing the opposing team from doing the same.
Difficulty: Average
Time Required: 20-30 minutes
Here's How:
- Divide players into two teams.
- Designate a playing area with an end zone or goal line on each end.
- To play, each team tries to advance the ball down the field toward the goal line.
- Players cannot travel with the ball in their hands. They must throw it to a teammate in order to move it downfield.
- Players from the opposing team try to intercept the ball as it's tossed, then move the ball toward their own goal line.
- To score a goal, a player from the winning team must be in the end zone to receive the ball from a teammate.
Tips:
- For smaller children, use a lighter weight ball and allow bounce passes.
- To stretch out the game and add physical activity, require a certain number of passes before a goal can be scored.
What You Need
- Large, flat playing area
- Ball (playground ball, football, or basketball)
