TIME BOMB
(Time and Seasons of the Year)

• Select four children to go to the four corners of the gym: "Go to the corner, please." Give each of them a ball: “Here is your ball.” The rest of the children stand in the middle of the gym.
• When you say “Go”, children standing in the middle of the gym start running anti/clockwise, trying to avoid being hit by a ball: “Can you run around in either clockwise or anticlockwise direction, please? Try not to get hit by the balls.”
• If they get hit by the ball either in or below their knees, they have to leave the game: "If you are hit in or below the knees, you are out of the game.”
• Children standing in the corners of the gym are to hit the rest in their knees: “Hit them in their knees.”
• After they throw the ball, they must pick it up carefully and return to their corner. Only then can they aim again: "Walk carefully in the middle and collect your balls.”
• As the number of children in the middle of the gym lowers, children standing in the corners must decide how to get them out.
• The game goes on until there are only four children left; they switch the roles with the four children that were throwing the balls: “Now you are the new children in the corner.” Those who had been hit by the ball return back to the game.
• The last round of the game ends when there is just one person standing in the centre! “Let’s play until there is one in the middle.” This student is the winner: “You are the winner. Congratulations.”

Note:

The teacher may join in with a fifth ball.
