In PE, we played a game called Sink the Ship! The students were on 4 different teams/ships, and their goal was to work together to knock down the other ships’ cones. The cones were what kept their ships afloat. If all of a ship’s cones were knocked down, they would sink to the bottom of the ocean and have to do 10 reps of an exercise (lunges, push-ups, crunches, calf raises, squats, mountain climbers) to get back into the game. There were blockers, cannonball retrievers on lifeboats, and cannonball launchers! This is one of our faves! #teamwork #cooperation#perocks
