Bench Ball

Hi, today my class and I went into our gym to play two games. The games we played were Silly Bananas and Bench ball.  We had to listen and here is what skills I had to use to listen. 1. Eye contact 2. Stop look and listen 3. Pay attention.

My personal favourite Bench ball let me tell you why...  Bench ball is so competitive and it is using plenty of skills.  I use some of my basketball skills and having to run from side to side.  What is bench ball?

Bench ball is when you have to pass the ball around to get it to the person standing on a bench, you pass all of the balls around to get it to that person. You are also not allowed to touch the person holding onto the ball. If you're wondering how to score points you have to throw the ball to the bench person and if the bench person caught it that means that the person that threw it has to stand on the bench as well.  You have to get your whole team onto the bench.

I am tall and that means that I have an advantage against the other team.  I love basketball so that means that I will spike the ball out of the air which has been thrown to the bench person.  I hit the ball out of the air.  You also have to be really quick to be able to get the ball or to get to the other side as fast as you can so you can receive a pass.

What skills do you need to play bench ball?  You need to be able to run from side to side as quick as you can.  So when you run you also need to be looking at the ball at all times.

So all I can say is bench ball is a great game and you should play it yourself.  To finish off I would like to say what is your favourite sport and why?
