Cut foam pool noodles into sections about 3 feet long and show the children how to use them to strike beach balls. During outdoor time, they can hold the noodle like a hockey stick and hit the ball along the ground or they can use the noodle like a bat and hit the ball from a traffic-cone tee. Provide some targets and encourage the children to experiment to find the best way to hit the ball.
