HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

Split class into two teams - "shooters" and "runners" (one team in colour bands).

Shooters are armed with gator skins and Frisbees and stand on outside line of netball court.

The running team is split between each end - runners in turn attempt to run the gauntlet to the other end.

Shooters are trying to stop runners from getting to the other end by throwing balls and Frisbees at runners.

Shooters can collect equipment but must be behind the line or cones before can throw.

If runners are hit they have to hop, if they are hit again they have to crawl and if they are hit a third time they have squat and be rescued by another runner going the same direction by holding hands to the end.

Hero's can rescue as many hit runners as they like.

2 points can be scored when runners make it across and 5 when they save hit runner.
