Instructions

Play area is a big circle with a chimney at each end. About 10m away is the team's sleigh full of
presents (balls). On each side of playing area is Santa's Grotto and Rudolph's lair (jails).
Dividing the play area in 2 is a line across the centre of the circle.

Aim:
Deliver as many presents down the chimney at the other end of the play area as possible in a
given time or until all are delivered. At the same time, stop the opposition delivering presents.

When tagged, they must go straight back to their base: Rudolphs back to their lair, Santas back
to their grotto. Any presents carried at that point must be given to the leader on the base who
will get it back to that team's sleigh.
