the opportunity arises.
● Designate a team captain for each team who will
choose a number between one and ten- the
order of who is closest to number who had in
your head gets to pick which house their team is-
Gyriffondor, Huffelpuff, Ravenclaw or Slytherin (if
students get worked up being Slytherin remind
them that not all Slytherins are bad and because
they are usually a very determined house they
are good at games)
● Designate the positions students will play- more
or less chasers and beaters can be used as
needed for numbers
● Explain the game to students:
- The chasers are the only ones who can
score points
- They must try to throw the Quaffel
(dodgeball) through the hops to score
points
- The twist is they can only run/walk 3
steps with the ball before they must throw
it either another chaser on their team or
at the hoops
- The beaters are trying to intercept the
passes between the chasers of the
opposing team in order to prevent
scoring. They do this by either catching
or deflecting the throws between chasers.
Beaters must stay at 2 big steps away
from chasers in order to still allow them
the opportunity to throw
- If beaters catch the ball they must throw it
back into playing area somewhere to be
collected by chasers
- The keeper stands in front of the hoops
 and tries to prevent scoring by either
catching or deflecting balls that are going
towards the hoops
- Each time the ball is knocked out of play
it must be collected by chasers
- Seekers observe play until an opportunity
arises for them to catch the golden
snitch. Every few minutes of play I will
throw the snitch (small yellow ball) into
each game for the seekers to attempt to
catch, if they catch it then the game is
over and the game is over there team
wins, if not the snitch is collected and the
game continues.
- When throwing the snitch alert the
attention of the seekers but don’t give
them much time to prefer and throw the
ball randomly into the playing area.
- A typical game of Quiddich goes to 150
points if the snitch is not caught. (it may
not be possible to keep score though as
two matches will be happening at the
same time and I will not be able to
monitor both all the time, so alternatively
a time limit can be set on the game and
there is no ‘winner’ unless the snitch is
caught.
● Positions as well as matches should be rotated
at least a couple times throughout the class

Closure:
Clean up: 3 minutes ● Only grade 5/6 has to put equipment
● Have students put aways all equipment before away- 4/5 can just reset the gym
