It's not all academics in the Nathan Hale Middle School Summer Transition Program. The students have FUN too!

Mr. Taylor teaches Health and Fitness. Mr. Taylor and Mrs. Thorne organize a game of Hungry Hungry Hippo. Bucketball with Miss Lane takes on new life.

In the energetic life-size version of the Hungry Hungry Hippos game, students slide on scooters to catch the most balls on the ground! The awesome part about this game? Students have to work together as a team to play. One person lays on their stomach on the scooter while their teammate is behind them, holding up their feet (like a wheelbarrow race, but the scooter is used instead of arms). The person behind pushes the other person’s legs into the middle of the circle so they can catch balls on the ground with a bucket. The person at the end with the most balls wins!

Bucketball is played with a large rubber ball and a bucket. The object of the game is to throw the ball into the bucket. The player who throws the ball into the bucket most times wins the game.
