How to play
- Stand the target in a small circle and mark a throwing line 3 m away. Choose one tagger; the others are throwers. Decide the throwing order.
- One at a time, throw the foam piece underarm from behind the line to knock down the target. Everyone, including the tagger, stays outside the throwing lane. Nobody retrieves a piece while it is in flight.
- After it lands, the facilitator signals for that thrower alone to retrieve their piece. If the target fell, the tagger must first stand it up inside the circle.
- Only while the target is upright may the tagger gently tag the retrieving player. Returning behind the line with the piece is safe. If tagged, everyone stops; swap taggers and reset behind the line.
- Allow at most 20 seconds for each retrieval. If the player has not returned, stop everyone, collect the piece and move to the next thrower. After 2 minutes, give the tagger role to someone who has not tried it. Finish once everyone has been tagger.
