HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

Each team has a designated area at each end and a neutral zone in the middle. When the game starts any player can move around the court in their area or neutral zone but not in the other team's area.

Each team chooses two secret Jedis who have the power to free team mates.

Each team is trying to throw the Gator Skin or soft ball at the other team to hit them below the shoulders.

When hit a player must Squat down and is frozen.

If the Jedi is hit they lose their power to free.

If a player catches a throw from the other team then that thrower must squat down and wait to be freed by a Jedi.

When all players in one team are squatting then the game ends.

The aim is to keep the identity of the Jedi's hidden for as long as possible.
