HOW TO PLAY STANDING POOL NOODLE GAME:
There are many ways you could play this game, but we chose to make it a team activity.
- Hand out one pool noodle to each participant.
- Start the game with everyone holding a pool noodle straight up and everyone standing in a circle a few feet apart.
- Then say “1,2,3 GO!” and everyone lets go of their noodle and moves in a clockwise direction to the next noodle.
The goal is to keep all the noodles standing for as many rounds as possible. After 5-6 rounds, I had the boys take a step out to make it a little more challenging.
My older boys liked moving the noodles really far apart then running as fast as they could to try and keep them from falling. So fun and great for building balance, teamwork and gross motor skills!
