  • Game Description
    • Start with one tagger who is designated.
    • The remaining players have a few seconds to run away.
    • When the tagger touches someone, they form a chain by holding hands.
    • Once the chain consists of four taggers, they split into pairs.
    • The pairs try to tag the other players.
    • The game continues until only taggers remain.
  • Setup
    • Position the players in pairs, one behind the other, facing the wall.
    • One tennis ball per pair.
    Execution
    • Player 1 stands closest to the wall and starts by throwing the ball against the wall.
    • Player 2 catches the ball.
    • Meanwhile, Player 1 moves back via the right side and then catches the ball that Player 2 has just thrown against the wall.
    • Repeat at least 20 times.
    • Make the exercise more challenging by catching the ball in a small cone.
  • Execution
    • Sprint around the cones, always via the middle cone.
  • Description

    • There is one tagger, and the rest of the players try to grab the elastic bands and eventually the tennis ball along two sides of the square.
    • If the tagger tags you, you must put the elastic band back and try again.

    Variations

    • Make the game more difficult or easier by, for example, removing the tagged player from the game.
    • Enlarge the square to adjust the game.
