Alien Splat

Written By Lee Hartley

Set-Up

Set out an area. Depending on the number of participants, select several students to be the Aliens.

Explain the Aliens have come to earth, and they are going to splat the earth students by throwing a pinnie at them.

Review the safety rules on throwing the pinnies at the body, not the head.

How to Play

The game's objective is for the Alien students to throw a pinnie and splat the other students.

When they get hit by the pinnie, they are frozen in Alien goo.

The student then must do x10 star jumps or other physical exercises to become unfrozen.

The Alien then runs back to the spaceship to get another pinnie. Once all the pennies are gone from the spaceship, the game is over. Or the Aliens can continue by picking pinnies up from the floor to continue.

Variations & Progressions

You can play that the earth students can unfreeze their friends by tapping them on the shoulder or running under their arms.

You can play for a time limit or when the pinnies have been used from within the spaceship.


Safe Zones with Risk

  • Add 2–3 hula hoops or cone circles as “Safe Zones.”

  • Max 1 students per zone

Multi-Ball Chaos

  • Add 3 foam balls into the game.

  • Earth players can pass or toss the balls to frozen teammates to unfreeze them.

  • Once a frozen player catches a ball, they are immediately unfrozen and can use it to help free another teammate.

Slow The Alien Down
