With simple rules and limited set up it can be played in any gym and be set up quickly.

I like to use 6-8 cones per circle and have the cones space about three feet apart.

Currently, I am in the Winterset Community School District as a K-3 PE teacher. I am always striving to enhance my curriculum to create a positive learning environment for my students.
