Supply List - Here is a list of what you'll need for this Human Hungry Hungry Hippos: (product links included)

2-4 Wooden Dollys with casters (depending on the size of your space and how many players you want to have) - [ Ссылка ]

+ (optional) Bungee cord [ Ссылка ]
- as you see in the video, you can opt to use people as the "mover" of the human hippo(s), or you can tie cord securely around the handles of each dolly and have players pull their "hippos" back (but with adult supervision and maybe gloves). They also used large squares to keep the balls in play due to the size of their space and it also got more students involved.

2-4 Laundry Baskets - to collect the balls [ Ссылка ] You can purchase them or borrow some from your students.

Plastic Balls (optional: balloons) - [ Ссылка ]

HUMAN HUNGRY HUNGRY HIPPO RULES

You'll need a flat surface, either tile or a gym floor. We tried it on indoor/outdoor carpet. Does NOT work that well.

At go, teams attempt to collect as many balls/balloons as they can either within 30 seconds (or any time you designate) or when all the balls/balloons are gone. Which ever team collects the most at each round either wins, or moves on to play another team (if you're doing a tournament). Make sure students take turns allowing other students be the "hippo".

Create safe lines with tape on the floor that teams have have all their balls behind in order for their score to count. Any stray balloons/balls that don't make it behind the line before time is expired do not count. Also, if balloons pop (which they will and its hilarious) those do not count toward their teams point total.

OPTIONAL - Have two teams, and each team takes turns (one hippo at a time) collecting as many as they can until all the balls/balloons are gone. Creates more tension, especially if you use balloons.
