Galaxy Cornhole
Objective:
Students attempt to get as many points as possible by launching their shooting stars into the moon craters
Set-up:
Use a spacious area on the blacktop
Create multiple lines of hoops
Line up 4 hula hoops 5-10 yards from the baseline
Split into 2-3 even teams and form a line in between their starting cones
Pile bean bags with scarves wrapped around them (shooting stars) in between teams. If there are no scarves, just use bean bags and call them meteors
How to Play:
Start: The first person will run around the far cone behind the hula hoop and grab a shooting star (bean bag) when returning to the start.
They will then toss the bean bag into any hoop of their choice.
If they make it into a hoop, the bean bag stays in the hoop, and the next person in line is free to run around the cone and grab a bean bag from the pile before shooting.
If they miss, the next person must grab the bean bag they missed and round around the cone before taking their shot.
The closest hula hoop will count as one point, the second hula hoop is 2 points, the third hula hoop is 3 points, and the last hula hoop is 4 points
Have the game run for 3-4 minutes or until all the shooting stars are gone
Progression:
Have students shoot with their other hand.
Have students bunny-hop around the cones instead of running.
Introduce a “meteor” ball that counts as extra points.
