Moon Rock Throw
Submitted by AnnetteTake sheets of paper (preferably paper that would have been thrown away anyway) and crumple them it up into balls. Divide your class into two teams line them up about two to four feet apart and have them toss the rocks (crumpled paper) from one end to the other without dropping it. If they drop it they must start from the first person tossing again.
Alternatively you can put the two teams about six to ten feet from each other and let them play moon rock dodge ball
