Play ‘Last Team Standing’ as shared by Chris Norman, 10th Enfield, for an energetic game between two teams!

How it works…

Divide the hall/space into two (use 5 or 6 marker cones), and split your young people up into two teams. Place a (light) ball on each of the cones. Then ask each team member to touch the back wall (at their respective ends). On the word ‘Go!’ the players can grab the balls and attempt to eliminate players on the opposing team.

The idea of the game is to hit the opposing players with the ball (head shots do not count) without it hitting the floor. The opposing player can dodge the ball (i.e. not come into contact with a direct shot) or can catch it to stay in the game themselves, if they catch it then the player who threw the ball goes out.

On catching the ball they bring back a team mate (if they have any team mates that have already gone out). The game continues until one of the teams is eliminated.

Players are not allowed to cross the divide; balls coming off the wall do not count, you may only throw the ball (i.e. must not kick it).
