Circle Game - Human Pinball
Equipment
Several gator balls
How to Play
All
players, except one, stand in a circle, facing inwards.
Players spread their legs as wide as
comfortable until their feet are touching their neighbours.
Everyone bends down and swings their arms
between their legs, like flippers.
One
person enters the circle as the moveable target.
The flippers try to hit them by knocking a
ball back and forth across the circle.
If the target is hit, the person who hit them goes in the circle and
becomes the new target.
You can add more
balls to make the game quicker.

Circle games are easy to monitor, everyone is on equal ground (no front
of back of the line), everyone can see and hear each other, and of
course they are a lot of fun. Some traditional circle games are
included in this resource but most of the games are new and original.
Schools, camps, and other group settings are ideal for the many
wonderful games found in this resource.
