Organizational Points In pairs need one shuttle and two cones Place cones 1-2 yards apart Partners pass shuttle back and forth between the cones trying not to let the shuttle touch the ground Rules:                - can only use hands               - shuttle must be hit above waist  Extensions: Increase distance between cones Shuttle doesn't have to go above waist height To make the game harder for some students place another set of cones further apart to increase playing space while keeping the original cone distance for weaker students.
