I learned this game from a fellow PE teacher.\u00a0 It was inspired by our own Kansas City Royals and their ability to steal bases! This is a very short, fast paced, agility filled game. I promise it will wear your students down and they will absorb all of the benefits of physical activity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Equipment Needed:\u00a0 <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>4 bases marked with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/floor-marking-tape-wide-W4539\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">floor tape<\/a> spaced out 10-13 feet away from each other in an equal square<\/li>\n<li>A taped X to mark the middle of the bases<\/li>\n<li>6 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/item\/spectrum-vinyl-square-beanbags-W9765G\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">bean bags<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>How to Play Royal Rush<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Four students will play at a time. Each student will start and have their own base. Each base will have 1 bean bag on it and there will be 2 bean bags on the X in the middle. One base will be marked as the \u201cRoyal Base\u201d which is designated to the winner of the game.\u00a0 The winner will have the responsibility of setting up the next game, and they get to play again.<\/p>\n<p>All four students start with one foot on their base and one foot behind it. The next person in line will start the game with \u201cGO!\u201d. The objective is to be the first student to get 3 bean bags on their base at one time. Students will run to steal bean bags off of other student\u2019s bases. They can steal one bean bag at a time from a base, or a bean bag from the middle. They will run it back to their own base and drop it. They will continue to steal bean bags until there are 3 on one base. When a student has 3 on their base, they will throw their hands up in the air and yell \u201cROYAL RUSH!!\u201d The winner will get to stay and set up the game as the next 3 students in line will find a starting base for the next game.<\/p>\n<p>I will only set up two games going on at once. It is very vigorous activity for the kids, and they will need short little breaks by waiting in line so their body can recover. These games can last anywhere from 15 seconds to a few minutes depending on how the students are moving. By the end of class, students will be tired as can be!<\/p>\n<p>Here is a video of my students doing the activity:<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-video\" data-lang=\"en\">\n<p dir=\"ltr\" lang=\"en\">This is called Royal Rush.
