Set up: Place 15 cones in a line along each basketball foul line (spread out from sideline to sideline.) Place a tennis ball atop each cone. Place half of the fleece balls and gator-skin balls on each end line for each team. Students are divided into two teams and will stand at each end line.

Instructions:
Tell students they are going to try to "knock the pumpkins off the fence" of the opposite team. They are aiming for the tennis ball (pumpkin) and NOT throwing at other students. Remind students that "people are not targets." Each team must stay behind their row of 15 cones. The area in between the fences is called the pumpkin patch and no players are allowed in there. If stray balls land in the pumpkin patch, the teacher will retrieve them. The game ends when all of a team's pumpkins are knocked down. Students can set the pumpkins back on the fence and play again, on the teacher's signal. During the game, the teacher will remind students of proper throwing form.

At the closure of the lesson, have the students demonstrate the proper mechanics of the overhand throw with an imaginary ball. Use cue checklist to see who is following proper form.
