Race to 4 (hockey lead up game)

Have students pair up.  They will need 1hockey stick and one hula hoop per group/pair.  The group will take 8 (normal) steps starting from the center cirlce to establish where they will place their hula hoop.  Teacher places 10-12 balls in the center of the gym floor (you can add more balls as the game is played out to help the game finish faster) .  On “go”, one student from each group will go and get one ball (either from the center or other hula hoop around them) and bring it back to their hoop.  One exception, they can’t steal a ball from their immediate neighbor to their right or left.  After they bring it back, their partner will then do the same.  Students are not allowed to use their hands or feet…they are only allowed to use the hockey stick to move the ball.  The first group to get 4 balls in their hoop wins.
