Exercise
A child of the throwing party throws or shoots the ball into the field from the blue square.
Rule: The ball must first land within the red square; the ball is allowed to roll out of the square afterwards.
After the ball is thrown away-or shot-the thrower tries to touch a blue pawn as quickly as possible before the ball is back in the blue square.
The runner may also choose to pause at the green pawn and only run on to the blue pawn when his teammate plays the ball away.
Is the ball in the blue box before the runner reaches a green or blue pawn?
Then the runner is finished.
He/she knocks over a pawn.
At 3 pawns over, the field and throwing party switch positions.
The game master uses the whistle to indicate when the ball may be played and when there is a change of function.
You have a point as a team when a child returns to the dots after touching a blue pawn.
More challenging for the runners:
- Move blue pawns farther away
- The fielding side may throw the ball to the thrower while running.
Even then, the thrower is finished and must flip a red pawn.
