Elementary PE scooter games, continued

  • Paper Route on Wheels 1. A riding and tossing game for partners with one board. Lay six hoops in a row down one side of the gym, two steps in from a taped line: the porches along a road. 2. The carrier rides along the road with six bean bags in the lap. 3. Stop beside each porch with both feet down and toss one bean bag underhand into the hoop.

Scooter relays and carrying 6

  • Ball on a Cone Relay 1. A carrying relay with nothing in the lap. The rider holds a cone upside down in both hands with a tennis ball resting in its open end. 2. Ride to the far cone line and back, steering with the feet alone. 3. If the ball falls, stop with both feet down, fetch it on foot, sit down again and ride on from there. 4.

  • Jigsaw Fetch 1. A fetching relay that ends in a puzzle. For each team, tip the pieces of a floor puzzle into a hoop behind the far cone line. 2. One rider at a time rides out, puts one piece in the lap, rides home and hands the board to the next rider. 3. Teammates who are waiting build the puzzle beside the start line. 4. The team is finished when the picture is whole, so slow riders with quick builders can still be first. Ride: seated, never standing. Ages: 7 to 11. Players: 6 to 30. You need: a scooter board, a hoop and a floor puzzle of about twenty-four large pieces for each team, and cones.

There the rider takes an anchor's place on the rope. That anchor walks the board back down the outside of the lane and joins the riders. 4. The team is done when all six have crossed by rope. Ride: seated, never standing. Ages: 8 to 14. Players: 6 to 30. You need: a scooter board and a long rope for each team, and cones.
  • Stop in the Box Shuttle 1. A shuttle relay with a braking rule. Split each team in half behind two cone lines that face each other across the gym. Tape a box the size of a doormat on the floor in front of each line. 2. The first rider rides across and stops with the board inside the far box and both feet on the floor. 3. Only then does the rider get off and hand the board to the teammate waiting there, who rides back to the other box. 4. A board that rolls through a box is ridden around a cone three steps back and brought in again. The first team whose two halves have changed ends wins. Ride: seated, never standing. Ages: 7 to 14. Players: 6 to 30. You need: a scooter board for each team, tape and cones.

Team ball games on scooters 5

  • End Zone Scooter Ball 1. A passing game toward an end zone, played seated. Mark an end zone three steps deep at each end with cones, well short of the walls. 2. A rider holding the ball may not travel. Both feet stay planted until the ball is thrown. Everyone else rides freely. 3. A team scores when a teammate parked inside the far end zone catches a pass. A dropped pass, or a ball held for a count of five, goes to the other team. 4. Defenders stay an arm's length from the thrower and may only knock down a ball in the air. Ride: seated, never standing. Ages: 10 to 14. Players: 8 to 24. You need: a scooter board each, a foam ball and cones.
  • Five Passes on Wheels 1. Keep-away in threes, played seated. For every six players, mark a square about eight steps wide with cones: three against three. 2. A rider holding the ball keeps both feet planted. Teammates ride into open space to be passed to. 3. Five catches in a row score a point, counted aloud. A dropped pass, or a pass knocked down in the air, gives the ball to the other three. 4. Nobody takes the ball from a lap or a hand. After each point the ball changes sides, and after three points the threes move on to a new square. Ride: seated, never standing. Ages: 8 to 12. Players: 6 to 30. You need: a scooter board each, a foam ball for every six players and cones.
  • Hoop Keeper 1. A passing game in which each team's goal is a teammate. One keeper for each team sits on a board inside a taped circle at the far end and holds a hoop up in both hands. 2. A rider with the ball in the lap may take three pulls of the heels, and then has to pass or shoot. 3. A goal is a ball thrown through your own keeper's hoop. The keeper may turn and tilt the hoop to help but stays in the circle, and nobody else rides into it. 4. After a goal the scorer and the keeper swap places, and the other team starts from its own circle. Ride: seated, never standing. Ages: 9 to 14. Players: 8 to 20. You need: a scooter board each, two hoops, a foam ball and tape.
  • Scooter Hockey With Foam Noodles 1. Floor hockey played seated, with half a pool noodle as the stick and a small foam ball as the puck. Two teams of four or five play toward cone goals with no goalkeeper. 2. The noodle stays below the knee on every swing, the back swing too. A high stick gives the ball to the other team. 3. Riders steer with the feet. Boards do not bump, and a noodle touches only the ball. 4. After a goal, the other team starts from its own goal line. Ride: seated, never standing. Ages: 9 to 14. Players: 8 to 20. You need: a scooter board and half a pool noodle each, a small foam ball and four cones.
  • Scooter Soccer 1. Soccer played seated. Two teams of four to six ride boards, and each goal is a pair of cones four steps apart with no goalkeeper. 2. Play with a large, light ball, such as a beach ball. It is moved with the feet only, and a kick never swings higher than the board. 3. Boards do not bump. A bump on purpose gives the ball to the other team at that spot. 4. After a goal, the scoring team rides back to its own half before play starts again. Ride: seated, never standing. Ages: 8 to 14. Players: 8 to 24. You need: a scooter board each, a beach ball and four cones.

Players: 6 to 30. You need: a scooter board each, bean bags in four colors and four hoops, each with a color card.
  • Stay on the Road 1. A steering game on the lines painted on the gym floor. Each child starts on a different line. 2. Ride so that the board stays over a line. At a corner, stop and choose a new road. 3. When two drivers meet on one line, both stop and wave, then pass slowly, each keeping to the right. 4. Add stop signs. A cone beside a line means stop with both feet down and count to three before riding on. Ride: seated, never standing. Ages: 5 to 7. Players: 6 to 30. You need: a scooter board each and a few cones.

How this list was compiled: Our list for a gym class with scooter boards, sorted by kind of game. The wording, the ages and the player counts are ours. Every game is played seated, crossings and relays end at cones short of a wall, and boards do not bump on purpose. Checked on 12 October 2026: Manitoba Physical Activity Safety in Schools, Scooter Boarding (https://mpass.school/activities/scooter-boarding/), for the rules against standing on a board, running and diving onto one, contact between boards and using a wall as a finish line; Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Educational_stage), for the ages of each United States grade.

How it works

These scooter board games for PE keep every rider seated, from stopping games for kindergarten to soccer and hockey for middle school. Each entry says how many boards it needs.

Read the full guide

Four rules before the boards come out

Riders sit, pull themselves along with their heels and keep free hands on the handles. Nobody stands on a board or runs and dives onto one. Boards do not bump on purpose. Every crossing and relay ends at a line of cones with room to slow down, never at a wall.

With too few boards

Play Paper Route on Wheels, Scooter Car Wash or any relay but Leapfrog Convoy: they share one board between two riders or a whole team.
