Island ball

Group work

4-5 participants per group

4 to 5 players together have an island (two mats lined up next to each other). There are 2 to 3 balls in the game. The aim of the game is to "banish" all players to their island. Someone is "banished" if they are hit by a ball from an opposing player (either by throwing the foam/softball or hitting it with a bat, depending on the type of game). Players may continue to play from the island, but may not leave the island. It is not allowed to run with the ball.

Variations:

• A player who has been hit may leave the island again if the player who "burnt" him has been hit.
• If a player on the island can throw/shoot an opponent, he/she may leave the island.
• Smolball: A participant may move with the ball while observing the rules of the game (e.g. 4-man rule regarding steps and time in possession of the ball).
