General PE Games

Pin Guard

Equipment

One cone or skittle per player, soft foam balls

How to play

Each player places a cone or skittle behind them inside the designated playing area. Players must guard their own cone while trying to knock over the cones of other players by rolling or throwing the soft ball. A player is eliminated when their cone is knocked over and they must leave the playing area with their cone. Players may block throws with their body but may not use their hands to touch the ball when it is not their turn. The last player with a standing cone wins.

Variations

Allow players to protect their cone using only their feet. Give each player two lives so that they lose their first cone and get a second chance.
