Set up a rectangular area divided into 2 squares, each large enough for half of the group to comfortably sit with space for each player. Chairs, facing outwards to enclose playing area and act as the “net”. Divide the students into 2 teams. Students sit on their team’s side, spaced out evenly on the floor. Drop the ball into play onto one of the team areas. Players attempt to hit the ball to the other team, over the chairs which are dividing the court. Players may hit the ball with arms, legs, or any body part, but may not lift their bottom off of the ground. Only three hits allowed per side. Help the students count out loud. Players try to keep the ball volleying back and forth as long as possible.
