Dodge ball
In gym we played dodge ball. Dodge ball is a game in which you try to eliminate all the opposing teams players by hitting them with a ball or catching one that they threw at you. As you could tell by the name you have to try to dodge all the balls they throw at you. There are many types of dodge ball, including, army(3 hits per person, get hit in head close eyes, hit in the arm you lose that arm, and same for legs.), Castle(knock over opposing teams castle that is made of 6 hula hoops), and Prison(if you get hit you go to the other side and stand behind the line and try to catch a ball that your team throws to you), And detective(in Detective dodge ball if you get hit you go to the wall and when your team hits the person that hit you your back in. |
Bowling
Bowling is a game in which you roll a ball towards the 10 pins at the other end of the lane. The pins are set up in a triangle that is 4 at the back and 1 at the front. You roll 10 frames of 2 rolls each frame and on the last frame you have 3 rolls if you knock over all ten on the first 2 throws. The way to score is you count how many you knock over and add them but when you knock all over in 2 throws then you add them up with the next roll. If you knock all over in 1 roll then you add the next 2 rolls and you get 10 points for that roll. |
Basket Ball
Basketball is one of the most known sports in America. In basketball you have a team and you make plays to get the ball to the other side of the court and shoot a basket. The point system is: a shot behind 3-point line is a 3 pointer and anything on the inside of that is a 2 pointer. If you get fouled(hit, or tackled) you go to the free throw line and shoot two shots. On the second one the rebound goes to whoever gets it. Your team has 5 people on the court and you then pass the ball from person to person and try to score. |
Football
In football you have 1 ball and several players. In football the opposing team kicks the ball off to you(or the other way around) and you run it back to the end zone and try not to get tackled. If you get tackled then you start a play where the Quarter Back says "HIKE!!!" and the Snap back tosses the ball to him. Then the QB(Quarterback) throws the ball or runs it and tries to get to the end zone. The End zone is 100 yards away from the other end zone. When you get tackled 4 times then you have to hand the ball to the other team and try to tackle them |
Softball Softball is a game about hitting a ball and running the bases. The pitcher throws the ball and the batter hits it, the batter tries to run all the bases without getting out, if he/she gets out then that is 1/3 outs before you get to switch sides. When the pitcher pitches the catcher catches it so it is not a ball. If the ball is a bad pitch then there will be 1/4 balls. If the player swings or it is a good pitch that he misses then it is 1/3 outs. |
Soccer
Soccer is a game about kicking a ball into the net at the other end of the field and keep it out of your side. The goalie blocks the goal and the rest of the team tries to keep it on the other side of the field. There is no touching the ball with your hands because if you did then you would be cheating. |
