A step-by-step guide to play the game

1

Each player chooses a country to play for. It should all be different countries.

2

A large circle is drawn on the ground, where all the players can fit. Each player owns a piece of the circle in which he writes the names of his country.

3

Each player is positioned in his country. Now choose the player who should start.

4

The player takes the ball and yells the name of one of the countries, from those participating in the game, and throws the ball in the air. 

5

The player with the country that was called must catch the ball as quickly as possible, bring it to the circle and shout STOP. During this time, the rest of the players run away from him.

6

At the word STOP no one is allowed to move. The player with the ball chooses a player to hit with the ball. He is allowed to take 3 steps in his direction.

7

If he manages to hit him with the ball, he has the right to take a piece from the country of the one he touches (at least the size of a shoe). If he fails, the one who has not been hit with the ball will take a piece from the country of the one who threw at him (at least the size of a shoe). 

8

The game is resumed, and the one who throws the ball in the air is the player whose country was last called. If this player is no longer in play (his entire country was conquered), the ball will be thrown by the last player who threw the ball and is still in the game.

9

A player leaves the game when his entire country has been conquered.

10

The last player left in the game wins the game.

A very easy, fun and energetic game! This could be a fun introduction to the Eurovision Contest Game (https://play.street-smart.be/en/game/view/374), for example, which would allow you to talk a bit more about typical music, customs,... in each of the chosen countries as well.
