Line up the 2 teams, one at edge of room in East position, other at West position.
In the centre of the room stands a plastic bottle or empty cereal packet or a bowling pin.
The aim of the game is to knock as many pins over as possible for your team, thus scoring a point.

> Akela calls out numbers, not necessarily in sequence.
> YP with that number, races to sit on an assigned chair, where a bean bag awaits.

> They have to retrieve their beanbag after each attempt, get back to a seated position and try again, they get three attempts.
> First person to knock over the bowling pin wins a point. Then they return to their East or West position.
> Akela then proceeds to call the next team number etc. etc. etc.
