Follow The Leader

Large Grid 20m x 20m. Players in groups of 5 with one ball per group

The leader with the ball can run in any direction. The rest of the group must follow like a snake. When the teacher calls Pass, the leader must stop, hold the ball out to the side so the next player can take the ball from their hands and continue running. The leader then joins the back of the group.
