Instructions

STEP 1

Spread the Auskickers across the playing area.

The bibbed taggers chase anyone without a ball and tag them with their hand.

STEP 2

When an Auskicker gets tagged, they freeze with hands in the air. They are to call out to a Handball Magician. Once the Handball Magician sees their hands in the air-as a signal for help- they must come to free them.

Auskickers become "unfrozen" when the Handball Magician handballs to the frozen player who must mark and then handball back to the Magician.

STEP 3

Both can now keep playing.

To keep everyone involved, change Taggers and Handball Magicians regularly.

Set-Up

HOW TO SET UP

Spread Auskickers out over the playing area.

Two Auskickers wear a bib: they're the "Taggers".

Two other Auskickers have a footy: they're the "Handball Magicians".

Variations

VARIATION 1

Change how feet get unfrozen. Rather than a handball, it might be with a kick, or by the magician crawling through legs.

VARIATION 2

Change the rules so that the frozen Auskicker becomes the Handball Magician once they're freed.

VARIATION 3

Change how the Auskickers move around. For example, rather than running they try hopping, jumping or crawling!

VARIATION 4

For even more challenges, get groups to bounce or touch the football on the ground every few steps or get them to handball with their other hand.
