Start in the middle of the field, and the rest (the “minnows”) line up on one side. When the counselor yells “Go!”, the minnows try to run to the other side without getting tagged by the sharks. If tagged, they become sharks for the next round. The game continues until only one minnow remains!

Adventure campers write, cast produce and star in a short adventure Movie that mirrors their camp experience. It would take 4/5 weeks to write, story board, cast, create sets and props, shoot and edit. It could culminate with a screening during Performing Arts week with a step and repeat for the cast and crew.

Group students in groups of 4-6. Have them line up in a straight line. Each student comes up with a gesture or movement (ex: cranking your arm). Then the student picks a sound that goes with their movement. The entire group does this, and connects their “machine” together like a factory line. Find an interesting way to connect. Change the order around. Make your machine go fast and go slow. Fun activity to have one group go and another group watch. Easy with littles!

Object of Game: To remain in the game after everyone else is called "out."

How the Game Is Played: Designate one side of the gym as "ship" and the other side as "shore." When you call "ship" all the students need to get to that side as fast as possible. The last one there is called out. The same applies when you call "shore." You may also call the following things, and the last person or group to do the action indicated will be out:

Captain's Coming ➔ Students must stand at attention and salute. They must stay this way until you say "at ease." If they move before you say "at ease" they are "out."

Captain's Table ➔ Students must get in a group of four, sit down in a circle, and pretend to eat.

Crow's Nest ➔ Studentsmust get in a group of three students and stand back-to-back with arms linked.

Play continues until there is only one person left in the game.

What is Danish longball?

Danish longball is also known as Swedish longball. It's a bat and ball game that is popular in primary schools in the UK.

It's described as a mixture of cricket and baseball, and each team takes turns to bat or field. In some versions, an element of dodgeball is incorporated - where players have to avoid being hit by the ball below the head when running.

A modern version of Danish longball is played in UK schools, which includes using a football.

What are the rules of classic Danish longball?

The main rules of classic Danish longball are:

The bowler pitches the ball to the batter, who must use their bat to hit the ball.

The ball must be hit within the field of play, which is called 'the square'.

The ball must hit the ground at least once before it bounces or rolls off the field.

The batter must then run to the other side of the square to a 'safe zone'.

The runner may rest in safety, but to earn a 'run' they must make it safely back to the original side of the square without getting out.

Each side bats its entire line-up of players.

Five rounds of play are recommended for a full match of Danish longball.

When this version is played in Britain it's usually an alternative to cricket, so timed 'innings' may be used along with a set of stumps. Play does not include a cricket ball, though, as the risk of an injury would be significantly increased due to the weight of a cricket ball.

A player is out if:

the hit is caught by one of the fielding team;

the ball does not touch the ground of the marked area;

the fielders hit a runner outside the safe-zones with the ball; or

they run outside the side lines of the square.

How do you play modern Danish longball?

To play modern Danish longball with your primary aged children, follow the steps below...

Set up the area in a field or in a hall. The area should look like the image below:

Organize the children into two equal teams (a minimum of six and maximum of ten players on each team).

One team begins as 'kickers' and one begins as 'fielders'.

The bowler stands in the 'bowling circle' and rolls the ball to the kicker in the 'kicking zone', who then kicks it as far as they can - out into the pitch.

As soon as the ball has been kicked, the fielding team may move and attempt to catch the ball. They then try to return it to the bowler, or hit the kicker (below waist height) before they reach the 'safe zone'.

Fielders are not allowed to move with the ball, this is why Danish longball is a great way to practise children's strength and ball handling skills.

The kicker must try to return to the 'kicking zone'. This can be done whenever the bowler doesn't have possession of the ball.

Fielders may also try to hit players running back to the 'kicking zone', with the ball.

Once all the kicking team are out, or there are no kickers left waiting to kick in the 'kicking zone', the teams swap over. Remember, the aim of the game is to score as many runs as possible.

What are the main rules of modern Danish longball?

The main rules of modern Danish longball (which includes a football) are:

A ball can only be bowled underarm and along the ground.

Any ball that bounces higher than shin height or goes wide of the 'kicking plate' is a no-ball.

The bowler must not step outside of their bowling circle at any point in the game. If they do, five runs are awarded to the other team.

Kickers are out when:

A fielder catches their kicked ball.

There are more than three players in the 'safe zone' (the last player to enter this zone is out).

When they are hit below waist height with the ball, by one of the fielders.

Batters may only kick the ball forwards into the 'fielding zone'.

Batters may only make contact with the ball with their feet or lower legs.

If a batter misses a ball, they must run anyway.

What equipment do you need to play modern Danish longball?

To play a game of modern Danish longball with primary children, you'll need:

A large space indoor or outdoor.

A stack of cones to mark the kicking fielding and safe zones.

A soft football-sized ball.

Coloured bibs.

Are you in a hurry? Have a read of the following blog for inspiration, ' 11 Essential Pieces of PE Equipment for Primary Schools '.

How do you score points in modern Danish longball?

A player receives a half-run for each successful run made to the 'safe zone'. They'll also receive one full run for making it back to the 'kicking zone'.

What are the benefits of teaching Danish longball at primary school?

Danish longball is chosen to be part of a school's PE curriculum because it helps children understand the fundamentals of striking and fielding games in a simple and achievable way. They'll learn how to work as part of a team, and work with their peers to achieve a common goal.

By including modern Danish longball in your PE lessons, you'll be providing children with the base skills to begin playing more intricate sports such as cricket, rounders and football.
