Think Quick – what to look out for…

• Encourage Smashies to think about a bucket shape with their hands when catching.

- Bean Bags or smaller / larger sized balls.

+ Pairs: one Smashie throws it up and the other has to move to the ball whilst also clapping.

+ Addition of obstacles such as dots, cones, which Smashies are not allowed to touch / stand on. Creation of a rapid area where Smashies walk faster or move differently.

+ Smashies on opposite sides of the river, have to throw across to their partner over the other side.

+ Make a narrow point in the river - where Smashies jump across (throwing the ball before they jump, and making the catch on the other side).
 

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?

Mission – Make it through the river throwing and catching the ball all the way. Have a portal gate of cones the Smashies have to walk or run through. If they move through the portal they are allowed an Extra Life (free drop) to complete the Mission.

Boss Battle – Smashies vs Activators / Coaches / Teachers / Whānau. 

Arena Mode – Parts of the river become narrower as the game progresses.
