Activity 2: Gulgul
THROWING
Objective
For a player to run between a start and destination point and, using a tennis racquet or similar,
defend off foam or whiffle balls being thrown by other players.
What to do
• Mark out two lines. One for ‘it’ to walk along and one for the remaining players to throw balls from.
• Assign one player in the group to be ‘it’ and provide them with a tennis racquet to defend him
or herself.
• Create a single line of players, each with a foam ball in their hand.
• ‘It’ then walks a defined line, set out with markers, parallel to the line of the other players.
• The remaining players must stay behind the line and attempt to hit ‘it’ with their ball.
• ‘It’ fends balls off with a racquet (or dodges).
• NB: place a marker at each end of “it’s” path: other players can only throw when “it” is
between markers.
What you need
Skill focus
• Markers to define a walking and throwing line.
