Description
A team game where players roll a ball across the hall trying to touch the members or the opposite team to get them out.
Resources
A foam ball (or a ball that is soft)
Instructions
Have players split into two teams one each side of the hall, players line up on the floor with feet against a wall and arms outstretched in front pointing towards the other team.
Each round the players fire the cannons by rolling the ball at the opposing team who need to remain still when the other team is rolling the ball at them.
Give the ball to the starting team and fire the cannons.
If the ball touches a player on the opposing team then that player is out. Ricochet touches do not count. If a player moves to avoid the ball they are out.
If a player that is out has not had a chance to fire the cannons (roll the ball) then they get to have the next turn doing this before leaving the game.
Once all the players of one team have been eliminated then their boat has been sank and the team with players left is the winner.
Variations:
No eliminations: instead of players being eliminated the team rolling the ball gets a point, play for an allotted time at the end the team with the most points win.
Multi Ball: Increase the pace of the game by using more balls at the same time.
