Game description
Before the actual game, the group is divided into teams of two. One player receives a tennis ball the other one a chair. The player who holds the ball throws it so skilfully so that the other kids can hit the ball with the back of the chair, in a way to throw the ball as far as possible. Which way he is holding the ball is up to the player. Those kids are just watching the game should be placed way out of the firing line so that the kid with the chair has enough leverage. Afterwards, the distance between chair and ball is measured. In the next round, the kids change chair and ball.
Judging
The winner is the team which could throw the ball the furthest. However, you could give them an overall rating just as well.
