How to play
Students design a handball court that has a maximum total area of 9m2.
Students use the 50cm square to design a handball court.
Players play a round of handball on their own design.
The person in Kings serves the ball by hitting it in their own square and then someone else’s.
The receiving player must hit the ball in their own square and then someone else’s square.
If the ball bounces twice or more times in someone’s square they are out and proceed to dunce or the end of the line of players waiting to join the game.
If Kings gets out they proceed to dunce and the new King serves.
When a higher ranking square gets out all below that square proceed to the next square up.
Move around to other handball courts.
