| Instructions to implement the tool | When you start to game, you can ask for the volunteers to select two team captains. Then, trainer/facilitator needs to divided the whole group into two teams according to gender and number of the people. After than, you can give time to the teams to select their group name. From that moment, team members cannot communicate with trainer who will be named as referee after that moment but team captains can do. There will be 5 rounds of the game which referee will ask for the number of the players first without showing the upcoming activity. 1st Round:Referee asks to two captains to select two players from each team and give them 1 minute to decide. After the players are selected from two teams, referee sets the first round activity which is “free penalty” game. Referee puts tape or locate pins to point starting line and put a basket down to be used as goal as far as place allows. It’s required that each team players will be involved either as throwing the ball to other team member or kicking the penalty. There will be 3 penalties to be kicked and the team which scores the most will win first round. 2nd Round:Referee will ask again two players from each team and gives 1 minute for the decision. After the selection of players, referee will set the activity as indicating the starting line and basket to throw the ball in it. This time, each player will have 3 shots and the team which scores most will win the second round. 3rd Round: Referee will ask again two players from each team and gives 1 minute for the decision. After the selection of players, referee will set the activity as indicating the starting line and basket to throw the ball in it. There will be one specific rule for throwing the ball which will be throwing the ball by players to turn their back to the basket. Each player will have 3 shots and the team which scores most will win the second round. 4th Round:It will be asked by referee to create a line according to team’s strategy behind the starting line as used in the previous rounds. Everyone will play in this game. After lines are created, referee will put baskets for each team far as place allows and it will be asked for each member to throw the ball into the basket one by one.
