- nr 1 plays ball behind line on the block.
- nr 2 stops behind line+ plays on block again.
- nr 3 stops ball behind line. If they manage to do this = 1 chocolate egg.
- than repeat this till time is done
- if 1 row; 1 egg if all stop the ball.
- NO egg if :
a) they didn't stop the ball
b) they stopped the ball before the line
they can play any way they like it. Focus is on the trapping of the ball. If both nr 2 and nr 1 stops/receives the ball= 1 egg
