EPISODE 4: Quidditch Rules
ACTIVITY: Directions
All chasers try to score on the other 3 house goals. They MUST report to
the scorekeeper (teacher) after each goal and they cannot score on the
same house twice in a row. Chasers use the yarn ball "quaffles" (color
doesn't matter to score, but each chaser will start with a ball of their house
color) to score goals with their sticks. Keepers defend their house goal.
All beaters use the gator skin "bludgers" (1 for each house color) to throw
at the other players. Players hit with a bludger are frozen for 10 seconds.
They must drop any quaffles or bludgers they have.
