| Instructions to implement the tool | 1. Divide the participants into two mixed groups. Each group should choose a team name and discuss their tactics. One person should also be chosen to be the referee.2. Each person takes a chair and, according to his tactics, takes a place on the field, but must sit about 1.5 m away from the other participant.3. The referee starts and runs the game. Players try to score a goal for the opposite team by a game that involves passing between players. Participants must remain in their chairs in one place at all times unless otherwise directed by the referee. 4. The referee shall closely observe the play. Players may be given a time out penalty if they leave their chair, kick the ball in the air or hit an opposing player. The referee determines how many minutes the penalty will last (not too long).5. If the ball falls out of reach, the referee must pick it up and pass it back into play or allow everyone 10 seconds to move their chairs. Only the referee may touch the ball with his hands.6. The team that scores the most goals wins. |

| Sum Up / Debriefing / Reflection at the end of the implementation | Let’s have a review of the game. How did the participants feel about having to be seated? What influenced the choice of the team name? What game strategy did they use? How was the communication within the team? Did anyone guide them or did they strategise together? Did they have any difficulties in devising the strategy? Could they have played better if they had better players? Would the game have been different if only men or only women had played together? |
