Pass The Planet

Pass the Planet

GETTING STARTED:

• Students stand in a circle.

• Instructor gives one student a bean bag (“planet”).

• Students gently toss the planet to anyone else in the circle (not next to them if possible).

• After throwing, they must say:

• “Planet to ___!” and say the person’s name.

• That student catches it and throws to someone new.

CHALLENGES:

• Add a second planet once they get good.

• Add a third planet for upper grades.

• If a planet drops, everyone does 3 “moon jumps” and keeps playing.

• For older grades: they cannot throw to the same person twice in a row.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

• 1–3 bean bags (these are “planets”)

• 4–6 cones (to loosely mark the circle if needed)
