Activity Overview
Mix things up out in the yard today with a game of Crab Soccer. Crab soccer follows similar guidelines to the traditional game of soccer, except for the silly positioning that the players must remain in during play.
This game is fun for all ages and presents a challenge that will level the playing field for the ages who participate. You see, assuming the crab position and carrying out the game in this position is a challenge in and of itself. There will likely be fumbles and fatigue and that is the silly and awkward nature of this cool activity.
Materials Needed
- A playground ball or large bouncy ball
- Something to mark off two goals
How to Play
- Split into two teams, and decide where the goals are for each team.
