Nine Stones

Nine Stones is a playful, team-based game where students use imagination, problem solving, and exploration while competing. The attacking team tries to knock down and rebuild the “castle,” while the defending team chases them and attempts to tag them with the ball. The game encourages creativity in finding new strategies and fosters curiosity and openness as children experiment with different ways of cooperating, moving, and achieving their goals.
