Game

This game is played with three people. A goal is designated. If there is no goal, two objects are placed opposite each other to make a goal.

At a certain distance from the goal (this distance varies depending on the age group playing the game), a circle large enough to fit 3 people is drawn. Students play rock, paper, scissors to determine who will take the stick.

Then all the children enter the circle. A countdown from 3 is done, and the child with the stick tries to hit one of the balls into the goal while the other children run back and forth to the goal. If the child hitting the ball fails to get the ball into the goal before the others return, they are eliminated. The child who first returns to the circle wins the stick. If the ball is successfully hit into the goal, the stick remains with the hitter, giving them another chance to win.

A child who wins three times in a row is considered the overall winner, and the game starts anew.
