Handball drill: warming up game: stone paper scissors relay race

Suitable for the following techniques: warming-up

Divide the group into two teams.
The teams stand side by side with about five meters between the players.
The players of each team stand behind each other, thus forming a line.
The course of the game is a square.
Team 1 starts in the far left corner of the square and team 2 starts at the same height in the far right corner of the square.
Thus, the two teams stand horizontally on the same line.
At the beginning of the game, the first two players from each team will compete against each other.

Game:

At the coach's whistle, these 2 players begin to run and follow the lines of the square.
They will run until they meet on their way.
At that point they will have to fight for passage!
This is how you do it:
- You play leaf-stone-scissors.
- Both players hold hands behind their backs and count down together: " 1 , 2 , 3 " and after 3 they each show a symbol:
  - leaf: the hand outstretched
  - stone: the hand clenched into a fist
  - scissors: index finger and middle finger extended
- The leaf overcomes the stone, the stone overcomes the scissors and the scissors win on the leaf.
Of course, when the same symbol is shown, you have to start counting again.
The player who wins the leaf-stone-scissors game may continue walking along the lines of the square.
The loser walks back.
The goal is to get to the other team as quickly as possible!
But: when someone loses, the next player from that losing team starts walking until he meets his opponent again.
Then the leaf-stone-scissors game begins again.
Thus, the winning player is always stopped until he/she reaches his/her team.
