Attack and Defend

 Attack and Defend

The two [#5] students come to the whiteboard. They flip a coin or do “paper, scissors, stone” to decide who is to attack and who will defend.

The attacking student then has thirty seconds to hit the whiteboard as many times as they can with the ball (a soft sponge ball is ideal) while the defending student tries to block them by getting in the way of the ball (they must however hand the ball back to the attacking student whenever they catch it). When the time is up, the attacking student is awarded points according to how many times they have hit the whiteboard.

After the next drill the teacher calls a new student number, e.g., [#3] and this time the roles are reversed, i.e., the student representing the team who was last attacking is now the defending student and vice versa.
