Academic Activity:
-Outdoor math and movement!
Draw a large grid with 30 squares and write 5’s on the top row, 4’s on the second row, 3’s on the third row, 2’s on the fourth row and 1’s on the fifth row. Leave five boxes on the bottom blank as that is where players will stand when they take their turns.
Before you start the game, gather 5 rocks

How to play: A player takes turns standing in each of the empty boxes at the bottom of a row while holding a small rock. They then try to throw the rock into one of the numbered boxes in each row. A number does not count if it is in a different row than the one you are standing in. For example, if you are standing in the first row and you rock lands on a five in the 3rd row, that does not count and you have to take that rock and take the turn again. Also, if a rock lands on a line that does not count and the player takes another turn. If the rock goes off the grid either outside or to the side, the turn for that row is over and they get zero points for that row.
