The objective for the monkeys is to hit the mice with the ball while they are running. The objective of the mice is to run from one end to another with a piece of cheese, without getting hit by the ball.
Other Skills: Coordination

Divide the participants into two equal teams.
Set up the boundaries (see attached pdf document as an example of the boundaries). In the middle of the play area have an area for the mice to run through.
At the end of the path for the mice, set up a pile of beanbags.
Designate one group to start as the monkeys, and the other as the mice.
The monkeys stand on either side of the mice boundaries (have an even amount on each side).
The mice stand just outside the boundaries in front of their running area.

1. The mice will be outside their path in a line.
2. Their goal is to run to the other end of their path and collect a piece of cheese (bean bag or tennis ball) and return it to the start of the path without getting hit by the ball.
3. The goal of the monkeys is to throw the ball at the mice while they are in the path and try to hit them below the shoulders.
4. On the word 'Go!', the first mouse in the line will start to run down the path, at the same time the leader throws a dodgeball to the monkeys.
5. When a monkey picks it up, they can either throw it at the mouse or to another monkey, but they cannot run with it.
6. The monkeys cannot hold onto the ball for longer than 3 seconds. If they do, they have to drop the ball, and another monkey has to run to pick it up.
7. The monkeys throw the ball at the mouse and try to hit them (below the shoulders). They can bounce it, roll it or throw it.
8. If a mouse is hit, they have to freeze where they are. If they had a piece of cheese, they have to drop it where they were hit.
9. That piece of cheese is now rotten and out of play.
10. They become unfrozen when another mouse makes it from one end to the other with a piece of cheese without getting hit.
11. If the mouse makes it makes it back to the starting point without getting hit, then they drop the piece of cheese there.
12. As soon as the mouse is hit with the ball or makes it to the end, the next mouse goes and the ball is thrown to the monkeys.
13. Continue until all the mice have gone, or for a predetermined amount of time.
14. The mice count how many pieces of cheese they brought back.
15. Switch the monkeys and mice and play again.
16. Whichever team collected the most cheese, wins!

When a participant is hit, they drop their cheese, but the cheese is still in play. The next mouse could run and pick up that cheese instead of going all the way to the end.
Have two mice going at the same time, and have two balls.

Adaptations (Blindness/Visual Impairment):
Have another participant guide "mice" who are blind or visually impaired. Also, consider using a ball with a bell inside or enclosed in a plastic bag so that participants who are blind or visually impaired can follow its sound.
