Trash Ball
Time Allowance: 15 Minutes
Equipment Needed: Dry Trash and a Timer
1. Divide your group into half and situate them on opposite sides of a volleyball net.
2. Offer each group an equal amount of dry trash. An example of dry trash is wastepaper, cardboard boxes, light plastics, etc.
3. Make sure there is an ample amount of trash: trash equals action.
4. On the "GO" signal, each team tries to put their trash over the net. Do not set a time limit for the game. Rather indicate that you will signal when the game is over. This unexpected signal prevents a team from collecting all the trash and throwing it over the net seconds before the time limit.
5. The winner is, justly, that team with the least amount of trash within the bounds on their side of the net. So that the teams will not suspect favoritism by the referee, the ref must write down on a sheet of paper the proposed time limit for each game.
