Set up: 3 cones per player placed a 1-3m in front of themselves. The players partner stand opposite around 10m away with the same set up of 3 cones.
The players take it in turns to throw at the oppositions battleships (cones). If they hit then they take that battleship to their side. The gme continues until the time runs out or if all battleships are taken.
Differentiation: Include a reward for good fielding. If the cone is hit but the player catches the ball from the deflection then the battleship is saved. Simulating a slip catch.
