Game Description

Cubs are divided into 2 teams (A & B), and sit lengthways down the hall facing the opposition.

Cubs are each given a number from 1 to n (n being the no. of Cubs in the team) and positioned as shown below:

Team A 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

*

X * X

*

Team B 10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1

The 2 chairs (X) are placed at either end of the hall with one beanbag on each. The 3 skittles (*) are placed in a line across the middle.

When a leader calls out a number the player with that number runs to their left around the chair and along to the chair at the opposite end of the hall. They then have to stand on that chair, throw the beanbag and try to knock down the skittles.

Once they have thrown once and missed, they run to pick up the beanbag and run straight to the other chair to try again.

The winner is the first to knock down 2 skittles (or one if it is going on too long).
