PRACTICE

1. I will divide the class into teams of two. Ro Sham Bo to decide who will go first. Spread out onto the field and stand 3 – 5 feet away from your partner. When I say, "GO!" one teammate will toss the ball and the other will set it back. After you have made five sets, switch roles.

STORYLINE
Today we are playing Ocean of Pearls IV. In this game, your goal is to set a tossed pearl (volleyball) to a hula-hoop to collect as many pearls as possible without being caught by the pirates (taggers).

INSTRUCTIONS

• I will select two pirates and four catchers in charge of putting the pearls into the ship (hula-hoops).
• The rest of the class will be fishermen (runners).
• When I say, “GO!” the fishermen must:
  • Run across the ocean
  • Grab a pearl
  • Run back and low toss the pearl to any catcher
• The catcher must set the ball back to the runner and then place it in the ship.
• Once the fishermen are past the cones, they are safe and cannot be tagged.
• If a fisherman is tagged by a pirate, he/she must go back and get a high-five from a catcher to get back in the game. If a fisherman is in possession of a pearl, he/she must return it.
• Fishermen must toss pearls outside of the boundary cones.
• Pirates cannot cross either side of the boundary cones.
• We will begin a new game when all the pearls are collected. At the beginning of each game, new pirates and catchers will be selected.
