Underarm rolling
Underarm throwing

Think Quick - what to look out for...

• Encourage Smashies to get low when picking the ball up off the ground.

+ The Activator calls out a specific movement and all running Smashies must respond accordingly (running, hopping, jumping, bounding etc.)

+ Smashies take a ball from the nest and underarm roll, throw or bowl it back to their teammates in the nest.

+ Designate different points values to different balls/ beanbags and watch the Smashies get more competitive and try to work out tactically which balls to take with their left hand or right hand.
 

Honesty | Pono - How could the Smashies be honest when they play this game?

Support | Tautoko - In what ways can Smashies support their partner or teammates when playing?

Cooperation | Mahi tahi - How could Smashies work together when they play?
