How to Play

  • Players are pirates, their coned area is their boat & the balls are the treasure! You need between 12 - 20 pirates split into 4 boats. The distance of your square area should be 7mx7m in size (this is important to ensure the same distance is achieved across different schools!)

  • The first player in each team runs to the middle of the playing area, collects a ball & dribbles it back to their base.

  • The next player runs & collects the next ball and so on If all the balls disappear from the middle, players should run to other pirates boats & ‘steal’ a ball within the time limit

  • After the game ends, ask teams to count up the number of balls they have.

  • 1 ball = 5 points. 20 balls should be used for this game.

  • 90 seconds to be timed by the teacher.

Record each of the 4 teams total scores - submit your winning team score point total!
