2. The Leader explains that they are a group of elephants who are being stalked by hunters.

3. Choose two Beavers to be hunters and one to be a ranger.

4. THe hunters, armed with a beanbag, try to bring down the elephants by hitting them between their ankle and knee.

5. When an elephant is hit they sit down trunk up (hand in the air) until 'rescued' by a ranger (who touches their 'trunk') and they can rejoin the game.

6. Increase the number of hunters and rangers, but make sure there are always more hunters than rangers.
