HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY
HOW TO EXPLAIN THE ACTIVITY

We are the last survivors of the planet Dodge.

The other team are the invaders who are trying to wipe us out by hitting us on the legs with poison balls.

Our only protection is our speed, agility and our hands.

If we get hit we mutate into a member of the outside team.

The outside team may pass the poison balls amongst themselves.

We will play for as long as we last then swap over.
