Set Up:

Spots are set up in four straight rows, leading out to selection of cones (the swamp) varying in size and shape. Place bean bags under random cones (aka frogs). Place the hula hoops next to the spots to be at the front of the students line.

Aim of the game is for the students to practice their landing/jumping/balancing skills. The goal for the students is to find as many bean bags as possible and get them back to their teams hoop in the time alotted. Whilst completing the task given by the coach.

 

Chlidren are to line up in teams of 4. When the coach says go student at th front of the line will hop on to each of the spots into the area of scattered cones. Student then picks up 1 cone to find a bean bag, if successful the student will jump back on the spots to their team and place the bean bag back into the hoop. High five the next person so they can go. If there is no bean bag under the cone the student must flip the cone so others know that cone has been checked.

Modifications

To make it more challenging for the older juniors the lines of spots can be moved in a more scattered order. Coaches could say to the students to only jump on certain colored spots.
