Omnikin Kin-Ball

Separate players into three teams of three different colors (black, pink and grey). Each team requires four
players. The defensive team forms a square around the Kin-Ball. This square of players also moves the
ball, maintaining the square formation. The server yells, "Ominkin" and a color from the three color
choices before hitting the ball. The team corresponding to the called color must get the ball before it
touches the ground. If the team succeeds, that team becomes the square team and will serve to one of
the two other teams. If the team fails to catch the ball, the other two teams each gain one point and the
team forming the square serves again. The game is played in three sections, 15 minutes each. Game
continues to seek a winner in case of a tie.
Moon Ball

Designate a Kin-Ball as the moon. Gather other soft balls, such as beach balls, wiffle balls or plastic golf
balls. The other balls represent meteors. Use sidewalk chalk to mark a grid or quadrant, placing various
"planets" on lines you choose by drawing a circle for each one. Place the "moon" in the center of the
quadrant with the players standing around the quadrant in a square. The object of the game is to throw
or roll the meteor balls in order to roll it past the planet lines. The moon ball cannot be touched by any
player and players must keep the moon within the grid boundaries. This game promotes throwing
techniques and team play.
Grab and Kick Kin-Ball

Arrange two teams with players within semi-circle alignments facing each other. Set a traffic cone
between the two teams. Instruct players to sit in a grab-and-kick position. Two players from each team
should stand behind their teams as catchers. The first team begins the game by kicking the ball or
serving it over the other team, above head level. If the team catches the ball, no score is made. If the ball
touches the floor, a point is made for the opposite team. Rotate catcher positions every five minutes.
Kin-Ball Race

Separate players into two teams, each with their own Kin-Ball. Draw a line with sidewalk chalk or specify
a line as the goal line. Give each team various soft balls to throw, such as wiffle balls, plastic golf balls
or beach balls. Set each Kin-Ball in front of each team at exact distances from the goal line. Call out
"Omnikin" and each team must race to see who can cause the Kin-Ball to roll across the goal line first.
CRAB KICK KIN BALL .

Divide the students evenly into a semi-circle alignment with a traffic cone placed in between the two
groups. *They will be arranged in a crab kick position while sitting on the designated circle.* Choose 2-3
players from each group to stand behind their respective team.* One group will start the activity by
attempting to kick the Kin Ball to the other group above head level.* If the ball is caught by the outside
teammate that will negate the score .* Any ball that touches the floor counts one point. *Choose new
catchers after a few minutes .
BACKBOARD BONKERS.

Make two grids width wise each side of the mid court line.* Use the basketball backboards as the scoring
zone or make a line on the side wall about the same height of the basketball hoop . * Start the game with
a jump ball like the tip off in a basketball game.* Any ball that is airborne must be hit /volleyed as in a
volleyball game.* If the ball is caught, it must be set up to a teammate using an overhead set up skill. Any
ball that touches the floor constitutes a loss of possession. No body contact is permitted.* The points are
scored as follows : (1) point if the Kin Ball hits the net ; (2) points if the rim is touched , and (3) points if
the backboard is touched .* Any ball that is caught by the opposition negates the score . *The play
continues from that spot. Any ball that goes out of bounds is a loss of possession. Alternatives: Play two
games side by side width- wise on each side of the half court line. If the ball is caught off the backboard
or rim, the score is counts for the defense. After each score, the action continues with a volley serve from
the sideline.
