Game description
Before the game begins you have to draw teams of two each. Each team receives a scarf. The two players hold it tightly by the four corners, while the team leader puts a tennis ball in the middle. The objective is for the participants is, to catapult the ball into a container. Alternatively, you could mark a circle on the floor where the ball has to come to rest.
