I really like your idea. Frisbee is really exciting game and I am sure that a lot of students will take part in your class.

Hi Harold!

Frisbee Golf (aka Frolf) is an awesome game! But making it active enough for students would require creativity.

I hope this is not too late but here is an idea for maybe next time you teach:

I was thinking setting up an outdoor obstacle course where students are involved in running around and throwing frisbees at targets (different size and distance). This can be a team competition so that students can be challenged and have fun! This is sort of like ESPN's 'Battle of the Gridiron Stars'.

For example, set up an obstacle course so that students have to successfully throw three frisbees through a hula hoop before they move on to the next course. Plus, you can do it by point system where if you make it through the furthest hula hoop, you receive 3 points and the closest hula hoop equals 1 point. The possibilities are endless!

Hope this helps!

Okay, this is an old post but I will add something I just thought of.

There are various Frisbee competitions that go on throughout the country. Ultimate is the the most well known. They also have Freestyle competition. This could be quite fun to watch kids come up with a Freestyle routine that you have designed a rubric for.

Also, they have a game called Guts. I would not recomment playing Guts in the traditional sence as you throw Frisbee's as quickly at each other as possible to score goals if they go past you. But if you placed two teams back to back and had them aim at 2-litre water bottles for points it could be fun. The kids might need to run to get the Frisbees that could add some cardio.

We developed a great modification to ensure that every student is more active, and gets involved in the games. Our modification to the game of Ultimate were, in our limited space location, we divided the class up into 4 teams, and ran 2 games of 2 teams and switched the teams, so everyone played against each team. The rules were that, if you were not moving, you were had to do jumping jacks or run/ jog in place. They had the option to choose between the two. If the throwing team dropped the Frisbee, they had to turn the Frisbee over and on their next possession, they had to pass the Frisbee to everyone on their team at least twice, before they could score, to ensure that everyone was moving, and that everyone has a chance to get involved in throwing and catching. This worked great for our lesson, does anyone else have any other modifications to the game of Ultimate?

One modification that you can make to help cut down on the scoring is to add two cones into the game for each team. The team must pass the Frisbee through the two cones (goal line) and it has to be caught on the opposite side. The nice thing is that it can cause kids to work on the curved throws where they get the Frisbee through the cones but then curve it to another player standing outside of the cones.
