"Bulls Eye" -One of the best throwing/catching games I have come across...

-Holding hoop above head was a $5 shot.

-Two $5 dollar oportunities being held up and if you look close enough you can see a gatorskin ball about to go through basketball hoop and "catcher" underneath it ready to catch it for a $10 shot!

 

-"Bulls Eye" as the educational game is titled was phenomenal!  As a teacher, I always pretty much know how a newly introduced themed (throwing/catching) educational game is going in the first 5-10 minutes of it being played by the students.  As reflective teaching goes, if the educational game works well and the students are learning, practicing and having FUN then I put it in my lesson plan folder for future classes/school years.  

"Bulls Eye" is a keeper for sure.  This game was highly rewarding in that if a student held a "target" (hula hoop) in their teams end zone in a certain way it was worth a certain amount of money.  If his/her teams "thrower" was able to throw a gatorskin ball through the "target" and have the "catcher" behind the "target" successfully catch it with out it dropping it they earned whatever the value of the held "target" was.  Their were "targets" that were worth $1, $2, $5, and $10 (shooting a half court shot into the opposite side basketball hoop and a "catcher" catching it once it dropped through the basketball hoops net).  

We used are usual play money and had a "bank" at half court full of $1's, $5's and $10's.  Teams counted up their total money at the end of the game to see how well they did.  

There is an above video in slow motion to show a "$2" shot being successfully executed by the "thrower", "target holder" and "catcher."

Nice job.
