You are tired of the usual games you play and want to invent a new game. Start with a CAF

 
 
 
Team game or individual Goals of the game Time Equipment Penalties for foul play
Number of players Scoring Playing Area Name Rules
Teams have same goals throughout as in football or a rotation of  goals for competing teams as in baseball. Movement used - running, jumping, hopping, crawling, skipping, dribbling?

Do a FIP and concentrate on the 5 most important factors. Make a decision on each factor.

1.Team  or Individual

TEAM : since we want to play this as a class
2. Number of players Up to 12-a-side because we want everybody in the class to take part.
3.Playing Area The playing area cannot be larger than 12m square because we often have to share the yard with another class.
4. Equipment We have 12 cones, 4 ropes (10 m long), 2 basketballs, 2 footballs, 20 bean bags, 12 hoops, 20 quoits, two rounders bats and 6 tennis balls. We are going to use 4 ropes, 4 cones,   4 quoits and 4 hoops
5.Rules
1. The playing area is made by tying the ropes end to end and using the cones to form the four corners of a square.
2. One team stays on the outside (outsiders), one team stays on the inside (insiders) of the square.
3. For a class of 24 pupils, the 12  insiders are divided into groups of 3, each group holding a hoop horizontally between them. The 12 outsiders are given  4 quoits and are spread evenly along the perimeter of the playing area.
4. At the teacher's count the outsiders  pass the quoits to each other 4 times while the insiders  run around to avoid being close to the pupils with the quoits. At the end of the 4 passes, the insiders  must freeze and lift their hoop above their heads. Outsiders  in possession of the quoits then try to score by throwing  their quoits (Frisbee style) through one of the hoops.
5. Each team gets 10 minutes on the inside and then the teams rotate.

Try out the game as you have planned it, then evaluate it using a P.M.I.

PLUS MINUS INTERESTING
It is an easy game to learn with very easy skills Insiders cannot protect their faces from the quoits while holding the hoop  If it would work better with tennis balls or bean bags instead of quoits
We can play this game when the playing area is restricted due to another class sharing the yard with us Insiders have to be very careful when running  together with hoop It would be interesting to see what strategy is best when playing this game
Can be played indoors when it's raining Stoppage to pick up the quoits after each round of 4 passes and 4 throws ________________________________
This game provides aiming practice for games such as basketball On a cold day this game does not have enough movement to keep us warm ________________________________
