Instructions

Before you begin
If you can’t get hold of guttering or pipes, you could use cardboard bent into curves. You could also mix the materials to make it more challenging. You’ll need a pipe for each player.
Use whatever balls you have, but make sure they roll through (or along) the pipes. Everyone likes a challenge but getting a rugby ball through a small pipe might be a bit too ambitious! You’ll need a suitable ball for each team.
Put the bucket at one end of the meeting space. Put the pipes at the other end – the distance between the pipes and the bucket should be a little bit longer than the length of one team’s pipes, so they have to move some of their pipes during the challenge.
Put some big obstacles between the pipes and the bucket. Tables work well; you could also use cones.
The first run
Everyone should split into teams.
Each team should stand at the end of the space with the pipes. They should take one pipe each.
It’s best if the people in each team have a mixture of lengths and sizes.
Each team should spend 30 seconds to get into a suitable position. It’s not a lot of time – they’ll have to think on their feet.
The key here is that people don’t have time to plan – feel free to increase the sense of urgency by encouraging them to hurry and move quickly!
Someone should release the ball at the end of the pipes.
Everyone should try to make sure the ball ends up in the bucket. They mustn’t touch the ball once it’s been released.
People can move around if the ball isn’t in their piece of pipe. If the ball’s in a player’s piece of pipe, they cannot move their feet. The pipes can’t touch obstacles.
If anyone breaks one of these rules, the ball stops moving, or the ball falls out of the pipes, the team must start again.
