This game is called 'Keeper of the Castle'. The center circle in the gym
represents the castle. Inside the castle is a pile of treasure
(little pieces of equipment like bean bags, tennis balls,
frisbees, that kind of thing). In the corners create 4 bases
and at each base, create different teams. Finally, place a keeper of the
castle who will protect all the treasure inside. Perhaps have
a few keepers
to protect all of the treasure in the middle.
Teams will try to steal or capture the pieces of equipment for the middle
without getting tagged by the keepers. If they can successfully
bring a piece of equipment back, then that's one extra for their team.
In another example, we see a player has been tagged on the way.
That player must then go back to his base and touch the hula hoop
then he's back in the game. If a player has gone to the middle, captured a treasure,
and then gets tagged,
he must first return the equipment to the castle, and then go back to their hula hoop.
Play until all the treasure has been captured!
