• The teacher chooses 2 tickers.
• They have to stay inside their box (inside the 4 pawns) and knock the basketballs away from the runners when they want to cross.
• The runners have to dribble to the other side without losing their basketball.
• If a runner doesn't have his basketball with him, he's out and he automatically becomes a ticker.
• A tip that you can give to the runners is that they should shield the ball with their body.
• This means staying between the ball and the opponent.
• The pupils may only cross again when everyone has been tagged or has reached the other side.
• In the end, as the game progresses, you get more and more tickers and less and less runners.
• The last remaining runner is the winner.
