✅ Number of players: minimum 5
✅ Space: yard, sports field, classroom (with adaptations)

🔹 How to play:

1. Choose 1 hunter – they stand in front of the other players.

2. The rest are ducks – they line up against a wall or a fixed point.

3. At the signal, the ducks must run to the opposite side of the field (for example, from one wall to another), without being hit by the ball thrown by the hunter.

4. If a duck is hit, they are either out of the game or become the next hunter (depending on the chosen version).

5. The game continues until only one duck remains – this duck becomes the next hunter.

Objective:
Avoid being hit by the ball and make it safely to the other side.

Two teams take turns batting and fielding. The batting team scores points by running around bases after hitting the ball. The fielding team tries to get batters out.

⸻

Players:

• Two teams, usually 6–12 players each

• One team bats, the other team fields

⸻

The Field:

• A diamond-shaped field with 4 bases (like a square)

• The batter starts at home base and runs to first, second, third, and back to home

⸻

Gameplay:

Batting:

• A player hits the ball with a bat and runs around the bases

• The batter must run after hitting the ball (even if it’s a bad hit)

• A run (point) is scored when a player completes a full circuit of the bases

Fielding:

• The fielding team catches the ball and tries to stop the batter

• A batter is out if:

• The ball is caught in the air

• The batter is out when one on the stop post yells stop and the batter didddent make it to the next base.

⸻

Switching Sides:

• Teams switch roles (bat/field) after:

• A certain number of batters are out

• Or a set time/inning is completed

⸻

Winning:

• The team with the most points (full runs around all bases) at the end wins

Game Rules:

1. Team formation:
   Two teams are formed and stand facing each other, about 6–10 meters apart. Each team holds hands to form a human chain.

2. Starting the game:
   One team shouts in chorus:

“Country, country, we want soldiers!”

The other team replies:

“Who do you want?”

The first team names a child from the opposing team:

“We want [child’s first name]!”

3. Attack and defense:
   The chosen child runs and tries to break through the chain of the other team (between the arms of two players).

• If they succeed, they choose one of the two players they broke through and bring them back to their own team.

• If they fail, they remain a prisoner in the opposing team.

4. End of the game:
   The game continues until one team runs out of players or the playtime is considered sufficient.
