During outdoor time, assemble several types of balls, some hoops and baskets and some items to use as strikers (foam pool noodles, fly swatters or plastic ball bats.) Invite the children to come up with a new game to play using any of the equipment you brought outside. Facilitate their problem-solving by asking open-ended questions. “How will you move the ball?” “What will you use as a target? How will you score points?” Help them come up with simple rules for play and then have them play the game.
