Mr. Kirsch’s PE Class: Ghostbusters from Mr. Kirsch on Vimeo. The above game is a lesson on Throwing & Catching Skills for Elementary students in Physical Education Class. I call this game "Ghostbusters." The object of the game is to have the students throwing the "ghosts" aka white foam balls over the fence (mats) into the other teams house. If students catch a ghost they get to put the ghost into their "ghost-jail" aka hula-hoops.   Ghostbusters State Standard: 1, 2, 3 Equipment: Foam balls (one per student is best) Cover them with white material, tighten extra material together with a rubber band (Ghosts), Ghostbusters music; Volleyball net Grade: K-2 Purpose of Event: Over hand throwing Time: 10-15 minutes Description: Cover balls with fabric so they look like "ghosts" and set up volleyball net, high enough so that a correctly thrown overhand ball will go over it.   Divide the class into two teams, one on each side of the net.  Explain that they must stay in their house (on their side of the net) during the game.  Tell the class that they are all Ghostbusters and their job is to get rid of all the ghosts in their haunted house.  They will get rid of the ghosts by throwing them into the other haunted house, over the net, using the overhand throw.  However, when the music stops, they must freeze and stop throwing ghosts.  Count the ghost to see who wins (optional). Divide the ghosts up and start again. Check for: opposite foot in front, trunk rotation, shift of weight, elbow leads, snap wrist and follow-through.
