The front runners compete against each other (the group can determine the order of the runners accordingly) and collect points for their group. The runners choose between reversal points at different distances (e.g. colouring stick, marker cone or cones). More risk (further distance) is rewarded with more points (3 points, 2 points, 1 point), but only the first to arrive receives the points scored, the rest go home empty-handed only the first two (or more, depending on the number of groups, e.g. the first two teams) receive points. Which group has the most points after a run (each group member completes one run), or which group is the first to score a number of points? Each run only starts at the signal of the game leader.

Possible forms of locomotion:
- four-footed forwards/backwards
- in a push-up position with a partner holding the legs up
- gamstrage grip

Per group:
4 colouring sticks

The runners run to the reversal point equipped with a Smolball stick, floorball/intercrosse stick or Nordic walking stick. At the turning point, the stick/stick is held vertically to the ground. Then make 15 rotations (as quickly as possible) around the stick/stick. During the rotations, both hands hold the stick/stick blade and the head is placed on the upper hand. The group counts the number of turns out loud and, after the last turn, calls the runner back, who probably tries to reach the group while staggering, in order to hand the stick/stick to the next runner and send them on their way.

Per group:
1 Nordic walking, intercrosse or floorball stick
1 Smolball stick

Game idea:
Two teams with several outfield players and a goalkeeper play the softball into the opponent's goal by attacking skilfully. Good defensive behaviour should prevent the opponent from scoring goals.

Scoring:
A goal is scored when the ball completely crosses the goal line.

Playing field:
Smolball field (22mx36m). Two goals with a goal area (2mx5m).
The entire hall is used as a playing field (hall walls are part of the playing field). In the field, side and base lines delimit the playing field.

Number of participants:
4 against 4 (3 field players plus goalkeeper)

Game rules:
The game begins with a bouncing ball in the centre of the field. One player from each team touches the centre with the tip of their stick. By throwing up the cue ball, the referee releases the game.

The following 4-man rules apply to smolball:

1. The ball, which is balanced on the racket, may be carried a maximum of 4 steps and must then be passed immediately.
2. The ball may be touched a maximum of 4 times before it is passed on.
3. The ball may be touched a maximum of 4 times before it is played on (picking up the ball from the ground does not count as touching the ball).
4. The ball at rest on the racket, without the player moving, may be held for a maximum of 4 seconds.
5. The ball may not be covered with the racket or the body, but must be played on immediately. If the ball is on the ground, it may only be picked up from the ground with the racket without touching any part of the body and played on. It is not permitted to actively play the ball with the foot, lower leg, hand, arm or head.
   

Stick shots, body shots, attacks from behind, active body contact and playing the ball against the ceiling result in a free hit for the opposing team. The free hit is taken indirectly at the place of the offence, whereby the opponent must keep a distance of 4m. Exceptions to this rule are offences committed behind the goal and in the goal area. In these cases, the free shot is taken from the front corner of the goal area. If a goal-scoring opportunity is prevented by a violation of the rules, the fouled player is awarded a penalty (direct shot from a distance of 4m; the goalkeeper stands with both feet on the goal line; the field players stand 4m behind the penalty taker).

If Smolball is played on an outdoor pitch, the boundary of the pitch plays an additional role. If the ball leaves the field of play, it is brought back into play by a free hit by the opposing team at the place of the incident.

Simple standard pass and shot exercise: The players stand in both corners next to the goal. The foremost player runs in a high arc into the centre in front of the goal (around the marker stick). There he receives the ball from the other side and shoots (at the height of the two cones). The passer runs up next and shoots at the goal.

Variations:

• Shooting at the empty goal or whoever has shot then stands in the goal themselves.
• The sports leader can demand different types of shots (direct shots are also possible).

Per group:
1 floorball goal
x Smolballs
4 cones
1 colouring stick

Per participant:
1 Smolball stick

The participants run through a slalom course consisting of stakes juggling with the ball on the stick, before placing the ball on the ground and dribbling it with the stick through a slalom course marked with marker cones. Once the ball reaches a defined line, a shot on goal is taken from there.

Additional strengthening task:
If you don't hit the goal, complete a strength exercise: 10x trunk bend (sit up)

2 (small/medium) goals
2-4 smolball bats (depending on the number of participants)
2-4 smolball balls (depending on the number of participants)
8 stakes
8 marker cones

3 to 4 players form a triangle or a square in a confined space (markings). An additional player goes into the centre. The outside players now pass to the centre player one after the other. The centre player passes the ball directly to the next player. The centre player decides which player to pass to.

Variations:

• The outfield players immediately take the position of the player in the middle after passing the ball.
• An additional ball is brought into play.
• Outfield players can also pass to outfield players.
• Outfield players only pass to outfield players. The player in the centre must try to touch the ball. The outfield player who last touched the ball must swap positions in the centre.

Per participant:
1 smolball bat

Per group:
1 smolball ball

The players face each other like in a tennis match. A line, a net or a long bench (wide side down) serves as a boundary in the centre of the court. The playing area is defined by markings or by mutual agreement (e.g. badminton markings). The game is played according to the rules of tennis, starting from the bottom behind the baseline. A game lasts 5 to 10 minutes, after which the players switch clockwise.

This game organisation enables movement-intensive lessons with a focus on promoting playing skills in heterogeneous classes.

Variants:

• The rules are determined by mutual agreement between the opponents. Each pairing can set different rules for their game.
• Different "nets" are set up (Swedish box, long bench, badminton net, rope, etc.).
• Doubles are played.
• Different balls are used (smolball, tennis ball, table tennis ball).
• After the pass, turn around your own body axis and reorient yourself.
• The game form can also be used as a form of practice for passing (forehand / backhand; long / short passes; receiving the ball, etc.)

Per team:
1 smolball racket

Pitch:
1 long bench / vaulting box / mini tennis net
1 smolball ball

Game idea:
Two parties try to score a direct point by skilfully hitting the speeder or to force a mistake by the opposing party.

Scoring:
A point is scored if the speeder lands in the opposing field or the opposing party cannot return the speeder in accordance with the rules.

Playing field:
In singles (1 vs. 1), the playing field consists of two square courts (5.5m x 5.5m) that are set up 12.80m apart (corresponds to a tennis court divided lengthwise).

For doubles (2 against 2), the court widths are doubled (11m x 5.5m), which corresponds to the size of a tennis court.

There is no net

Number of participants:
1 against 1 (singles), 2 against 2 (doubles)

Rules of the game:
A match is played over three winning sets. A set ends with 16 winning points. At 15:15, the set goes into extra time until one of the players has a 2-point lead. After each set, the side is changed to ensure equal opportunities (wind and light conditions). If it comes to a fifth set (deciding set), the sides are switched as soon as one player has reached 8 points.

The right to serve and the choice of side is decided by drawing lots. Each player has 3 serves in a row. Each party can score regardless of the right to serve. If the score is tied at 15:15, the right to serve changes after each point. The service is executed either from the centre of the court or from behind the baseline. When serving, the speeder is dropped from hip height in front of the body and then hit. Overhead serves from a standing or jumping position are only permitted from the back baseline. The first serve of the following set goes to the loser of the previous set.

Passing game in teams of two; during the passes, the partner is asked for the type of shot, but before the speeder has crossed the centre zone (e.g. forehand, backhand, overhead, hand change or rotation on its own axis).

Per participant:
1 speedminton racket

Per group:
1 speeder

Passing game in teams of two; both players stand so that they have little freedom of movement (e.g. on a long bench, a vaulting box or in a hoop).

Variant:
Only one player has limited freedom of movement.

Per participant:
1 speedminton racket

Per team:
1 speeder
2 length benches / vaulting box

Passing game in teams of two; every third or fifth touch of the ball, the speeder should be caught and stopped by the player

Per participant:
1 speedminton racket

Per group:
1 speeder

Passing game in teams of two; before hitting back, however, the speeder is played vertically upwards and only then hit back again.

Per participant:
1 speedminton racket

Per group:

6-8 participants form a circle. The game is played with a speeder, which should stay in the air as long as possible.

Variant:
Multiple speeder.

Per participant:
1 speedminton racket

Per group:
1 speeder

Two players pass the speeder to each other as often as possible in a given time and count the passes. All pairs have the same distance to each other. The pair with the highest number of passes wins the game.

Per participant:
1 speedminton racket

Per team:
1 speeder

Several speedminton courts are laid out. 4-10 players play on each court, evenly distributed over both halves of the court. The foremost players on both sides are in the court and play the speeder to each other. The remaining players wait in single file behind the playing field until it is their turn. After each shot, the respective player runs to the opposite side, lines up at the back and waits for their next shot. The player at the front of the column becomes the new batter. If a player makes a mistake (hit into the outfield or speeder falls to the ground in their own court), they are eliminated from the game. The last 2 players play a final game to 3 points.

Variant:
Ejected players have the chance to return to the game by the player who threw them out (i.e. last speeder touch before the error) being eliminated in turn.

Per team:
1 speedminton racket

Pitch:
1 speeder

Passing game in teams of two; change of hands after each shot. Who makes fewer mistakes?

Per participant:
1 speedminton racket

Per group:
1 speeder

Single game for a certain number of points (e.g. 10). If the group size is uneven (e.g. 3 participants), one player enjoys a break, whereby the duration of the game is reduced (e.g. 7 points) so that waiting times are shortened.

Additional task Strengthening:
After each game, the loser completes a strength exercise: 5x push-ups

2 speedminton rackets
1 speedminton shuttle
8 marker cones

Pendulum relay with several teams (participants of the teams are evenly distributed on markers approx. 20 metres apart). Each team has a bat and a speeder. The first runner from each team must balance the speeder with the bat to the other side and hand the bat and speeder to the next runner. If the speeder falls down, it must be picked up and placed back on the bat. Each player completes two runs (i.e. the players are in the same position at the end as at the beginning).

Variant:
The players must hit the speeder into the air at least 10 times during the race.

Per participant:
1 speedminton racket

Per team:
1 speeder

Juggle speeder in various positions (smooth transitions):

• standing
• walking
• sitting
• on your stomach
• on your back
• running
• walking backwards, etc.

Per participant:
1 speedminton racket

Per group:
1 speeder

Play idea:
The team in possession of the howler attempts to move the ball in the direction of the targeted end zone. The opposing team tries to prevent this movement and force possession of the howler by means of a "turnover" (see rules of the game). The howler may only be moved by throws from one player to the other.

Scoring points:
The aim is to catch the howler in the opposite end zone following a pass from a team-mate and thus score a point.

Playing field:
Rectangular field with an end zone at each end. 64mx37m with 18m outdoor end zone, 40mx25m with 15m indoor end zone.

The pitch is bounded by cones. The connections between them form the side or out lines.

Number of ends:
7 against 7 outdoor, 5 against 5 indoor

Game rules:
At the start of the game and after each point, the teams line up on their end zone line. The team that starts or has just scored throws a high, long pass towards the opponent's end zone (throw-off). As soon as the howler is released, all participants may move freely on the field.

The howler may be thrown in any direction. The player with the howler in his hands may neither walk nor run, only star steps are allowed. However, if the toy is caught during the race, the movement may be slowed down by the required number of steps. The howler may not be handed over, but must move from A to B through the air. If the attackers are unable to catch the howler (the howler touches the ground, flies out of bounds or the opponent intercepts it or knocks it to the ground), the defending team gains possession of the howler and attacks. This is referred to as a "turnover". There is no interruption to the game.

The defender covering the thrower must keep at least an arm's length away. Only one player may cover the thrower at a time; the next defender must be at least three metres away. The attacker must play the howler after a maximum of 10 seconds. To signal this, the defender counts the seconds out loud.

Body contact or tackling is not permitted. Each player is responsible for signalling an infringement of the rules. There is no referee. Fair play is therefore very important. If an attacker and a defender catch the howler at the same time, it belongs to the attacker.

Optional: After a successful point is scored, the teams switch sides. The team that scored the point then starts again with a throw-off towards the opposing team.

A runner carries a ball in their hands and runs around a turning point (e.g. colouring stick, marker cone or cone) or to the hall wall and back before sending the next runner onto the track. Several runs are chosen per participant with different forms of locomotion (e.g. normal sprint, one-legged hopping on the right and left leg, running backwards).

Replacements: Run to the end of the waiting group: pass the ball forwards over the heads of participants - pass the ball forwards between the legs - pass the ball alternately over the head and between the legs

Per group:
2 colouring sticks
1 ball (volleyball, softball)

One runner runs around a turning point (e.g. colouring stick, marker cone or cone) or to the hall wall and back before sending the next runner onto the course. The course can be completed as follows:

• Balancing the ball on the racket
• Juggling the ball with the racket
• Bouncing the ball on the floor
• Rolling/guiding the ball along the floor

Returns: From a defined line, a pass is played to the next participant in the group, who catches the ball with the racket without it falling to the ground (until successful or a maximum of three attempts) - run behind the group and pass the ball forwards between the legs - pass the ball behind the starting line with the racket (without hands).

Per group:
2 colouring sticks
1 Smolball

Per participant:
1 Smolball bat

One runner jumps with the skipping rope around a turning point (e.g. painting stick, marker cone or cone) or to the hall wall and back before handing the skipping rope to the next runner and sending them on their way. There are different ways of moving with the skipping rope to complete the course:

Single run:

• Skipping rope: right leg first only (with/without intermediate step)
• Skipping rope: left leg first only (with/without intermediate step)
• Skipping rope: alternating right/left leg first (with/without intermediate step)
• Skipping rope: two-legged
• Skipping rope: one-legged left
• Skipping rope: one-legged right
• Skipping rope: walking backwards
• Skipping rope between the knees

Note: if you make a mistake, return to the start or turnaround, but after 3 mistakes you can continue jumping in place. The forms of locomotion can also be combined (e.g. outward one-legged left - return one-legged right, outward two-legged - return sprint without jumping rope).

Per group:
2 colouring sticks
1 skipping rope

The basic game is enriched with a second ball and made more difficult in terms of coordination. Which team can master this task the longest without making any mistakes (control: played from bottom to top)?

Variants:

• Throwing and catching: one of the two balls is always played with the racket, the second ball is always caught with the free hand and immediately thrown back

• Synchronised: both participants hit their first ball at the same time and then try to keep the rhythm.

Per participant:
1 racket (Street Racket)
