How to Play
- Split the kids into groups of 3 players.
- 2 teams play each other.
- One of the teams is trying to make 5 passes in a row without the other team (the magpies) stealing the egg (the ball).
- Every time a team completes 5 passes they get a point and the other team has to do a forfeit (star jumps, etc).
- If a team steals the egg they try to get 5 passes and so on.
Equipment Required
- 1 x ball per area
- 4 x cones per area

- Allow children who are doing well to demonstrate the skill to others
- Allow children to discuss their team strategy
