Cats dribble around the outside of the circle, as fast as possible, whilst maintaining control of the ball. Mice have to collect as much "cheese" as possible in that time, by going to the middle of the circle and dribbling back with as many balls as possible. Coaches call and number, each team has to do their respective job
1. Don't make the circle too big, it will take too much time and children will get bored. 2. If you call player 1, make sure both teams know who is going, give them some time to figure it out themselves, but don't leave players standing around. 3. Play 3 times for each team, but make sure that every player gets at least one activity, either running outside or collecting "cheese" inside.
