Ultimate Frisbee Lesson Plan: Great for rainy days!
Objective: Students try to advance the Frisbee past the end line of the basketball court by throwing it to their teammates.
Start with two teams (approximately 12 on a team) at either end of the gymnasium. The team members will throw the Frisbee to their team members with the goal of getting the Frisbee down the court and across the baseline of the gym.
As the game advances, team members will scatter all over the floor (some will stay back to guard their goal, and some will be on the offense trying to make goals).
Each time the Frisbee crosses the baseline (the Frisbee has to be thrown across the baseline to score) the scoring team gets one point. The person throwing the Frisbee cannot be guarded, but the rest of his teammates can.
If the Frisbee is dropped, the defense gets to take over possession.
Advantage of this lesson plan is that students are constantly involved and active participants.
You can set time limits on how long one team has to keep possession of the Frisbee (example 3 seconds or 5 seconds).
This was found online and has many adaptations to it. This would also be a great warm up, or to play catch.

Ultimate Frisbee is a great game however how large is the gym you are playing this game in. A regular basketball court doesn't seem large enough for 24 participants. It would get extremely crowded and I think some students would end up just standing around.
Along Ashlee's train of thought, a great way to maximize student participation is to have a lot of mini-games being played at the same time. Instead of 1 game with 12 students on each team, you can easily have 4 games going with 3 students on each team. There will be minimal standing around, and students will constantly have the frisbee in their hands.
