| Instructions to implement the tool | 1) Divide players into 2 groups. Each team is consisting of min. 5 and max. 8 people. They need to make a line behind a starting line. Also you need to locate 5 pins in the parallel to participants’ starting line. The general aim is to complete S or O according to their defined letter and reach S.O.S. The letter area should be stated in between the two teams with 3×3 Rings. 2) To reach the S.O.S rings, participants needs to strikes the 5 pins with bump pass which are located across their starting line. 3) How you can make a bump pass is with the help of another teammate. One should pass the ball and another should make the bump pass. Each player needs to be engaged with the bump pass phase (either the one throws the ball or make the bump pass). 4) After every 5 pins are destroyed, team members can reach the common rings to put either S or O or they can just block the opposite teams with the location of their letters. 5) The team that reaches 5 SOS wins the game. |
