Boule:

This game can be played in any open area. Use markers to identify a start point for each team
Split the group into teams (preferably of even numbers). Give each group one iron. Give each player 2,3 or 4 balls (players should mark their balls to tell them from others in the group. Give each group a yellow ball / football / cone to be used as the ?jack?

ACTIVITY:
Leaders place the 'jack' a suitable distance away from the start point
Players take it in turn to chip their balls as close to the 'jack' as possible until all the balls have been hit. The player closest to the 'jack'? scores one point for every ball that is closer than any of his/her opponents. The player with the most points after a set period of time or number of 'ends' wins.
