Set-up:

Before students arrive set up all the targets (hula hoops, poly spots and round goals within the 10’ volleyball court lines (or in the center area of the gym). Based on the age and ability level of your students, decide on a distance and set up 6 cannon launchers with cubes on each side of the gym. Younger students should be about 10’ away, and you can increase the distance for older students. Use your best judgement. Behind each set of launchers lay down a floor tape line (length depends on the number of cards in your sequence). Place a cone at the front of the line where the students should start the sequence. Next to the cone, place a bucket with all necessary cards.
