Stones
Materials: 4 Hula hoops, 50 beanbags, 2 colours of face paint (red, blue)
Divide the playing area in half. In each half, set one hula hoop as a jail and another as a Treasure Chest. In each Treasure Chest, place half of the beanbags (stones).
Split the players into two teams, and mark their faces with face paint. The object of the game is to get as many stones as possible into your own team’s Treasure Chest by stealing them from the opposing team. Girls trying to invade the enemy's territory must proceed with care, because if they are tagged by a defender, they are sent to prison! Girls can only be sprung from the enemy's prison by a free member of their own team. Beanbags can only be removed from each team’s Treasure Chest one at a time and transported back across the border into their own territory.
Teams may not guard either their Treasure Chests or their jails. Teams may also only tag invaders on their own side of the boundary line.
Run the game for at least ten minutes, then blow a whistle to stop the action. Whichever team has the largest number of beanbags in their Treasure Chest wins the round.
