Resources

Cones or markers
Different sized balls

Instructions

Setting up the game
Divide your space into two halves using cones, markers or chalk.
Put three large balls on the centre line. These are the fire balls.
Put up to four smaller balls in each half. These are the throwing balls. They could be in two different colours, with one colour for each group.
Fire away
Everyone should split into two groups.
Each group should stand in one half of the space.
People need to stay in their own half throughout the game and can't step over the halfway marker to get balls back. However, an adult or young leader could throw them back.
The aim of the game is to keep the fire balls out of your team’s half by throwing the smaller balls at them. The game finishes when all of the fire balls end up in one group's half.
People need to run to grab the smaller balls and try to throw them at the fire balls to move them into the other team's half. However, no one can touch the fire balls and no one can move while holding the smaller throwing balls. People can move if they're not holding a smaller ball. They can also throw the smaller balls between each other and pick them up off the ground after they've been thrown.
When everyone's ready, shout ‘go’ to start the game and get those fire balls moving.
The game is over after five minutes or as soon as all of the fire balls end up in one hal
