Nivstaboard Rules

GAME 1
One player either side of the board. Mark lines on the ground both sides of the board, one metre apart. Throw the ball at the board and catch it. If you drop it the person on the other side of the board has a turn. The idea of the game being that you work back to the last line, then back to the first line to win the game. The most important rule being that if you throw the ball at the board and it hits the top and flies to the other player and they catch it on the full, the thrower must start at the first line again.

GAME 2
For game 2 you may choose as many lines as you wish. You must number the lines. The same rules as game 1 applies.

Numeracy Rules

(Number Game)
A) Game 3 is a mixture of games 1 and 2. You and your opponent must choose a number of points, e.g. 50. You then throw the ball from the line that you are most comfortable with, adding your score as you go. The first person to 50 wins. You may play the game again, but this time counting 50 down to 0.

(Numeracy)
B) First to 50 points using one tennis ball each, if you miss collect your own ball. The children learn to play and feel under pressure and to play the game which develops and needs honesty.

Literacy Rules

(Alphabet Game)
A) To start the game one player throws the ball from the furtherist line and tries to catch it. The other player has a turn from their side of the board, whoever drops the ball first is the loser so the other player starts the game. The game itself. The alphabet is painted to the playground floor.(both sides of the nivsta board)

abc
	def
ghi
	jkl
mno
	pqrs
tuv
	wxyz

Either side of the board so two alphabets. When you are ready player one chooses a word that both players know and can spell. Lets say today. Player one then throws from t and tries to catch the ball if he or she does then he or she moves onto o then d then a then y, this makes today and they are the winner. Obviously the fun part of the game is when the player misses the board with his or her throw or drops the catch, the opponent then has a turn and so on. Note both players must use the same word this keeps it fair. The most important rule being that if you throw the ball at the board and it hits the top and flies to the other player and they catch it on the full, the thrower must start their word again.

(Alphabet Game)
B) First to make the word Monday, one tennis ball each, if you miss collect your own ball. The children learn to play and feel under pressure and to play the game which develops and needs honesty.

For more skilled players test yourself with one handed rebound catches.
