  • Try to get a quartet with your team by getting 3 or 4 of the same objects (e.g. 4 cubes) in your box.

    • In your own box you are free and cannot be tapped.
    • If you are in another square you can be tapped.
    • If you are tapped you walk around the outside back to your own square.
    • If you are in an opponent's square without being tapped, you are free to return to your own square with the stolen object.
    • You may only take one object at a time.

  • All balls are placed one meter before the 9 meter.
  • Two players are placed behind a pawn at the centre half way through one half.
  • The players take turns trying to shoot at the goal with as much variety as possible in shots and positions in the goal.
  • When the first player has shot at the goal, the other player can run up and take a ball to shoot at the goal.
  • After the shot on goal, run back around the pawn before you can take another ball to shoot at the goal.
  • The goal is to continue in one go without stopping until all the balls you have to shoot at the goal are gone.
  • The other players spread out over the field and next to the goal to catch the balls and place them back at the position where all balls are.
  • The other players also keep score.
  • Who will get the most balls in the goal?
  • After this you start again with two new players.
Players stand in pairs facing each other. Each pair has 1 ball.

  • The player with the ball first makes a half turn straight around.
  • Then the player turns back and throws the ball to the other. Possible to combine with (preceding) 2-legged jump forward backward.
  • The player with the ball starts by making a half turn, where the ball moves from the bottom right to the top left (bowling move).
  • Then the player turns and throws the ball to the other.
Focal points:

- Possibly with eyes closed (throw with eyes open).
- Then throw from the second turn.
