-Setting Up:

  • With eight spots set up six attached squares with spots--each square about 2-3 paces across (three squares are sice-by-side)

  • Players stand in the six squares.

  • The King holds the volleyball.

-Instructions:

  • The King bumps the ball into play.

  • From there, if the ball lands on the floor in someone's square play stops, that player goes to the number 1 square and other players move up one square filling the vacated spot.

  • It the ball goes out of bounds and lands in no-one's square, the person who last passed it goes to the number one square and other players move up one square filling the vacated spot.

  • Balls must be passed at least one-metre above the players' heads.

-Questions & Notes:

  • Variations

  • Making the squares smaller makes it more difficult, and conversely making the squares larger makes it simpler.

  • Play this game with setting.

  • Play this game with a choice of setting or bumping.

  • Question for understanding:

  • What technique helps the players pass accurately?
