Pizza Delivery
You will need: Foam blocks, foam noodles, and cones (to adjust space if necessary).
How to play: Give each player a foam block (pizza). Everyone is it. Players run around while balancing the block on their palm like a pizza and try to knock other people’s pizza off their hands by using only one finger. If your pizza gets knocked off you do 5 jumping jacks. Reminders: palm must be open not holding the block and block needs to be balanced away from body not resting on body parts.
Modifications:
- Adjust the size of the playing area depending on numbers of participants (less space means more action)
- Give players a pool noodle to use to knock off each other’s pizzas to extend their reach
- Have participants balance the block on the back of their hand, or elbow for an extra challenge
