Cleanup Quiz: One Quadball Rule per Item

A cool-down that turns putting away the quadball equipment into a rules review. Each item returned is traded for an explained rule, so the group brings heart rates down walking while locking in what they learned.

How to play

1. Two equipment managers stand by the bins with the question cards (1 min).
2. Everyone walks to pick up one item (pole, hoop, bludger, ball or headband), brings it to the bin and answers the card they draw: what a goal is worth, what a player who gets hit does, what the gender rule says (3 min).
3. Anyone who misses can ask a classmate for help, who explains the rule while they both pick up another item (1 min).
4. The managers read out the two most-missed rules and the teacher clears them up (1 min).

Rules

• Walk while collecting, no throwing equipment into bins.
• Carry poles upright, never sideways through the crowd.
• If you know an answer, don't shout it: wait your turn.
• Everyone answers at least one card.

Variations

Adaptations

• Students with limited mobility serve as equipment managers and read the cards.
• Deaf or hard-of-hearing students: cards show the question in writing, and they can point to the answer if they prefer.
• Students with reading difficulties have the manager read the question aloud.

Learning goals

• Lock in quadball's basic rules.
• Put equipment away in an orderly, safe way.
• Help a classmate understand a rule.

Equipment for a class of 25

• rule cards: 15

Teacher tip

Make the cards once and laminate them; they'll last the whole term. Typical mistake: the fast students grab everything and the rest answer nothing; limit it to one item per trip.
