The goal is to make players look around them; where are my opponents. And of course avoid them in time so that my ball remains.
Advanced group can also do this with ball at foot.
drawing The viewing game
A variation of the standard party game is played. Behind each goal there are 4 to 5 hats.
As soon as team a scores, the player who scores takes a hat from behind the goal in which the goal was scored and runs as fast as possible around the field to his own goal and puts the hat down here. Only after this may the player rejoin the game. There is thus a natural underclass / overtal moment.

Players who "cut off" must turn around and put the won hat back and then out of the field to get back to their own goal.
