How to do it
- 1Define the play boundaries and establish a 'safe zone' for reloading (where no one can be hit).
- 2Divide the players into two teams. Each team starts with an equal pile of 'snowballs' and builds cover.
- 3Set a time limit (e.g., 5 minutes). Players must throw the soft snowballs at opponents.
- 4If hit, a player must do 5 push-ups or 10 lunges before rejoining the action.
- 5The team with the fewest hits (or the most energy remaining) wins.
