I started teaching 5th and 6th grade PE this year. I have searched to find fun games/activities that the kids would like and have not had much luck... Until NOW. I introduced this game to the class about a month ago and the students LOVE This is the ONLY game they want to play. THANK YOU for sharing 3 Ball!

First time player of this game. Introduced it to my PE classes last week and it was an absolute instant hit.

We should start making pdf rules for each of his games to help everyone else out

Oh my gosh when I tell you how much my 4th grade class love this game! They work hard and I even use the game as an incentive for Fun Fridays! Amazing idea....thank you for an awesome game!!!

We played with 2nd - 5th grade last week, and the kids had a blast. For 3rd - 5th we used the big hoops for the jailbreak. For 2nd grade, we used two lower side hoops, and that worked really well. It was fun seeing how excited the kids got when there was a jailbreak. We'll definitely be playing this in the future.

I played this game today with a group of teenagers whilst out on a forest walk. We used cones to mark out the perimeter of the pitch.

We added the following four rules:
1. If player A throws the ball towards player B and the ball bounces before hitting player B, then player B is not out.
2. If player A throws the ball and it hits player B and then player C without bouncing, then players B and C are both out. (It’s a double kill.)
3. If player A is holding a ball and they release it by either throwing, rolling or dropping it, they cannot pick that ball up again until another player touches it. (This is to fully prohibit players from moving with the ball.)
4. A hit only counts if it’s below the neck, i.e. shoulders and below. (This is to discourage head shots.)

Great game.
I use red balls and call it Fireball.

I played this with my Grade 5 class this week - it was fantastic. Every student was playing and having fun. Thank you for the idea.

You know its a good day when the gym teacher starts setting this up🔥🔥🔥

I used as many as 10 balls and took away the jail break hoop shot. This created more movement and interest. With 3 balls the slower kids would give up and the kids on the outside kept the balls and continually tried to make the jailbreak shot. I renamed it Shark Tank. Great game suggestion!

[suzanne]

I LOVE this game and so do the kids! I especially like to play it on crazy days ( dress up days, day before a break…) because it is a bit slower and less chaotic than Coneball or Spiderball…. There is plenty of movement and excitement with the 3 balls and the kids love it! Especially when someone rings the goal for Jailbreak!!

Dit is echt een TOPspel! Ik speel dit ook in onze kleine zaal. Dan zijn er slechts 2 ballen en wie aan is moet contact maken en houden met de muur. Is een echte hit bij ons op school!

[adonnalongo]

We play something similar called scattered dodgeball. Can’t wait to try this! Ty

[larrysmith]

I play a similar game called Free Ball. We use 4 balls with similar rules but the player that are out will sit down where they got hit. If a ball rolls to them, they can pick up the ball and hit a standing player while sitting or from their knees. Last player standing wins.

Excellent for our party this afternoon! Thank you.

[spaztekwarrior]

Basically 'all in dodge ball.' Yeah, it's a fun game.

[Jennie-ux]

We play a similar game but combine it with everyone's it/ultimate tag. I use quite a few balls. Everyone is it and there are no teams, and no elimination. If someone gets hit, they sit down. They watch the person who hit them, and when that person gets hit and sits, down, they get back up. Players sitting down can also grab a ball if it rolls to them and throw it. If they hit someone, they can get back in the game. If they are hit, they cannot throw a ball back at the person who got them, as they are sitting down. Headshots are 60 seconds in the penalty box.

cooperation, time to pass to the outside and have a shootout for a jail break :) thanks for the game, my 4-5s loved it

[stephaniemagnone]

Played this game today with my 5th and 6th grade classes! It was a hit! I only changed up how many balls I used. I have bigger classes so I used 6 balls in the game. So fun!

[kristinataylor]

I play this with my grade 2's and they love it
