OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Bull Dog Hockey. In this game, the objective is to attack the ball in the middle of the field and score a goal in your opponent’s net.

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will divide the class into two teams. Each team will line up shoulder-to-shoulder on their baseline.
• Before the game begins, I will assign each student a number. Teams will have corresponding numbers.
• At the beginning of each round, I will call out one number.
• When your number is called, run to the center of the field, attack the ball, dribble to your opponent’s goal and try to make a shot on goal.
• You cannot push, shove or hit another student’s hockey stick when attacking the ball.  
• We will begin a new round when someone has scored a goal or the ball is hit out-of-bounds.
