Make it easier

Place the balls closer to the children.

Level it up

Children carry the ball in two hands and evade a gentle tag on the way home.

30 pups

Two ball piles and two Giants so nobody swarms one spot.

Stay safe & strong

No diving on the balls.

Early Years 3–5 / KS1 5–7

EY: The coach wakes dramatically but moves slowly. Children simply return home.

KS1: The Giant can add gentle tagging or call a direction the children must return to.
