The aim of the game is for the Greeks (blue players) to steal the cones from 'Troy' and get them safely back to the 'beach' by avoiding being tagged by a Trojan (red player). In order to give enough time to collect 'ONE' cone each, the greeks will be able to go on the first whistle, and the trojans on the second whistle. If a greek is tagged while they are running back with a cone, it will be given to the trojan to put back in Troy. After a while, change the teams around. PROGRESSION:- Instead of cones, you can use balls and give the players sticks. (ie if tackled/ball goes out, the ball goes back to Troy)
