What's a fun way to make street basketball fun and different?

Asked by xTheDreamer (897points) September 27th, 2009

We got an assignment for Phys Ed, the assignment is that we have to set up a street basketball game. For instance on one half of the field two teams play together and the other half another two teams but we want to make it fun we don’t want to do a normal street basketball.

So how do we make a regular street basketball more exciting and fun?

You can have a basketball tournament. People do that here all the time. If you have four teams then two play off until there’s a winner. The other two play off until there’s a winner. Then the winners play off to see who is champ.

You can also play games like HORSE. You probably already know what this is. But one person will sink a basket using some funny style. Then everyone else has to make the basket the same way. If you miss then you get a letter. Whoever spells HORSE first loses.

You could also play AND1 basketball. This is where both teams try to show off as much as possible while playing. This includes doing basketball tricks, like dribbling between the legs, all throughout the game.

Are these the kinda ideas you are looking for? Or something more specific?

@RedPowerLady Yeah, those are some ideas I’m looking for. Something to make it fun instead of playing a regular tournament.

@Sarcasm Use tennis balls? As in instead of basketball or what?

@kibaxcheza this is a school assignment, so no liquor.

@Christian95 @ABoyNamedBoobs03 @kibaxcheza @bumwithablackberry @Sarcasm @RedPowerLady I really need something creative to make a regular lame street basketball tournemant really fun. Remember this is a school assignment but it has to be fun and creative.

@xTheDreamer basketball is fun all by itself.

@ABoyNamedBoobs03 yes, but we really want to make it extra fun.

@kibaxcheza we don’t have wheelchairs? but that was a good idea hah.

Any chance of rolling in a 3rd basket? Then placing it on the side of the field, halfway between the two normal baskets? Then adding a 3rd (or 6th) team? Each team only being allowed to shoot in 1 or 2 particular baskets.
