Send us Fan Mail Greeting PE Nation! In this episode I share my accidental invention of "Splatball," a creative PE game using water-filled tennis ball canisters that explode on impact. This game emerged while seeking wind-resistant alternatives to traditional bowling pins for outdoor play. • Game involves two teams trying to knock down opponent's water-filled canisters • Can be played with bowling balls, hockey sticks, or other equipment • Students whose pins get knocked down join offensive play so no one sits out • Works best outdoors where splashing water evaporates quickly • Various modifications possible based on age group and available space Grab the free Splatball PDF in the episode notes to try this game with your students, and check out the video link to see the game in action.
