HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

The team at the end chooses a Hero who tries to make it to the other end without being hit by the team on the sides who are armed with Gator skins and Frisbees.

If the Hero makes it to the end then the whole team has a free walk to the other end.

If the hero is hit, they join the team on the side and become a thrower.

The remainder of the team then have to try and run through and make as many runs as possible but if hit have to join the team on the sides and become throwers.

Throwers must be behind the line before they can throw.

Teams rotate once all runners have been hit.
