Activity Description:
-
Objective is to continuously move balls in
order to assist teammates who are in danger of being tagged by one of the
5 taggers who are holding pinnies. A tagger may only tag a player
who is not holding a ball; there should be a ball for every third player
(excluding the taggers).

Pinnies must be visible.
