Aerobic Bowling
Objective:
Students work together to knock down as many cones as possible in a set amount of time, building coordination, agility, and teamwork.
Set-up:
Divide students into teams of 4 or more. Assign each player a letter (A, B, C, D, etc.).
Place 3 tall cones upright approximately 5–20 yards away from the team’s starting cone (adjust based on age group).
Give one ball to each team (e.g., a foam ball, tennis ball, basketball, or soccer ball).
Rounds:
Timed Rounds: Each round lasts 30 seconds. Students rotate through roles—rolling the ball to knock down cones, resetting cones, and retrieving the ball.
How to Play:
Player A rolls the ball toward the cones, trying to knock down as many as possible.
After rolling, A runs to take the place of Player B.
Player B retrieves the ball and brings it back to the line, handing it to Player C.
Player C rolls the ball, then takes the place of Player A.
Continue the rotation in this same pattern throughout the timed round.
Scoring Option (Optional): Keep track of how many cones are knocked down in each round. Reset cones between rolls or designate one player to reset cones each time.
Progression:
Students use different types of balls (tennis, foam, basketball, soccer)
Students have to move to the next place in different ways, such as skip, or jump
Students can kick the ball
