As a future physical educator we are taught to question for understand, and I like how you incorporated your questioning into the video! A great game as well.

[@ThePESpecialist]

Questioning is so important, helping kids make those important connections is one of the best things we can do as teachers - glad you guys are learning that early!

[@danielwaterman1658]

Great game! My students would play this everyday if I would let them.

[@rachelemilysantacruzmoved6799]

🙅Emily:What,it just the fucking game ⛹

[@ActivityChannelPE]

Awesome video! We have one coming up soon that features a similar game. These are great alternatives to human target games, and the kids still have a blast playing them!

[@mollyslenker1011]

Have played this game for years. My students love Monster Ball!

[@tamarazaborac-payton6501]

Looks like a fun game. About how many balls do you have out for the students to throw at the monster ball?

[@paulacampbell4873]

Thanks for all you do! What are the signs you have in different colors at the top of your gym? I'm incorporating a lot of your ideas and am curious about that one. Appreciate it!

[@ThePESpecialist]

It's our Locomotor movements that we focus on in K and 1st grade - each color is a different word: Skip, Slide, Walk, Jog, Gallop, Leap, Hands and Feet - just different ways to move

[@karissasais8113]

Anyone have ideas or tips on how to make this work playing on a blacktop which is slightly slanted?

[@ThePESpecialist]

Have the teams switch sides after each round to make it fair?

[@olivial4176]

3:10 look to the right 😂

[@nycitytours]

Love these games. Thanks

[@anniemccammon6446]

Do you think this would work for first grade? I'm subbing PE until our school gets a new PE teacher. Thankful for all you video's!

[@ThePESpecialist]

You could try it with a smaller or lighter ball and a smaller boundary. I normally play with 2nd grade an up

[@Gurumasakiniofc]

what ball did u use sir?

[@ThePESpecialist]

You can use any ball, a large exercise ball or cage ball works well, we have a big cage ball that we use sometimes, but in the video we are using a large exercise ball, not 100% sure but I'd estimate around 36"-40"

[@ferred3056]

What are the best strategies for monster ball ?

[@ThePESpecialist]

Use teamwork, move quickly, try to move it to the closest line on your opponents side, roll a ball to try and jam/block the monster ball up when it gets close to your line

Thanks ben from indonesia...

[@ericrobinson6079]

I like that game I too work with alot of peeps that game sounds great thanks for the game

[@ThePESpecialist]

Sure thing - hope you guys have fun!

[@kennedycubo7505]

Love this idea. How can do this without a gym. I use a wide cafeteria. Could anyone help? Where do you get gator balls/ score card sheet

[@ThePESpecialist]

I think you could play it anywhere as long as you define the throw lines - instead of a square you might just have a middle zone that's a "No Throw Zone" and students try to move the monster ball across the opposite line by hitting it with a ball thrown from their side. I just use tally marks on a blank page for a scoresheet.

[@ronyaristide19]

where can u find those balls

[@ThePESpecialist]

Anywhere online or a sports equipment retailer - they are usually called exercise balls or yoga balls

[@kodybess]

Where I work we did it today and the kids LOVE it. This game was so crazy. Thanks for the posting the game.

[@ThePESpecialist]

+Kody Bess Nice, glad you guys had fun!

[@dirkvanstralen2]

hi there, what kind of ball do the kids throw? thanks :)

[@ThePESpecialist]

+Dirk Van Stralen II Anything that's soft and won't hurt if a kid gets smacked in the face during the game. I use a combo of 6" gatorskin balls (coated foam) and 7-9" Slo Mo Balls (something similar to this amzn.to/1rYDAS7)

[@lisalepage9743]

What are the dementions of the middle square?

[@ThePESpecialist]

I'd estimate mine is about 20 x 20, but you might want something smaller or bigger depending on your kids skill and the ball you're using. Try it out and see what works

[@samanthapriddy6071]

Doing this today! SO EXCITED!

[@joeburrow7691]

Samantha Priddy how did it go?
