games/activities, with explanations.

1. Duck on the pond. Students will underhand serve the ball over the net
and sit wherever their ball lands within the court dimensions. If a peer
serves a ball and the student sitting is able to catch the ball, without
having their bottom leave the floor, both students are free to continue
serving. Make it more challenging by dividing the students into teams
and first team to have all students sitting (in the pond) loses the game.
The game practices the skill and technique of the underhand serve
while attempting accuracy.

where three students with baskets wait to catch the ball. Students may
move the baskets in order to catch the ball but may not steal a ball
from another player. Once a ball is caught, the student who serves the
ball switches with the catcher. This game may be going on different
courts to ensure all students have active participation.
