PLANET INVASION

Divide the group into two teams, one team are the invaders and the other defenders.

Create a playing area (the planet) approximately 5m x 5m and scatter all the equipment (treasure) in it - distribute the hoops outside the playing area.

Invaders begin on the outside of the area and attempt to take pieces of equipment by running into the play space.

Any equipment that is captured is placed in one of the hoops.

The defenders are guarding the equipment and if they tag an invader they must drop whatever equipment they have and run a lap of the area.

Invaders are safe only when they are outside the playing area.

EQUIPMENT: Cones, 4 hoops, bean bags, tennis balls, sashes, any other suitable equipment.

AREA REQUIRED: Large open area - basketball oval or similar.

HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

We have a planet that is rich in treasure, one team will be defending the treasure.

The other team are the invaders who are trying to take the treasure by invading the planet.

When invaders get some treasure they place it in one of the hoops.

The defenders can stop the invaders taking their treasure by tagging them.

If a defender is tagged they must drop any equipment they have and run a lap of the planet.

We will play until all the treasure is gone or for a period of time then swap over.
