Awesome Writing Siamani! Awesome Game, Whangaruru School.

The Great Lunchtime Game  Siamani
Capture the flag is played on a field. When you set the cones out you have to make a circle with them at each end of the field. You also put a row of cones along the half-way line.
The two teams are  sorted out. One of the teams gets bibs and the other team doesn’t.
Each team gets their own territory to stop people from getting in the circle because inside the circle there is a ball that represents the flag .
If you get tagged  you have to sit down and wait until someone  comes and saves you.  If you get saved by your teammate you can’t let go of their hand because the other team would be allowed to tag you but if you hold on to your teammate then that way you won’t  get tagged.
The aim of the game is to try and get into their circle so you can get their ball so you can get a goal.
Some good strategies to play are -if they have a good team the best solution is to stay on defence so they won’t get to a goal.Or if you have people in your team that can run really well then what you do is you distract them by running down   one side then the person with ball runs. Hopefully  they won't have enough time to go and tag the person with the ball.

It's a great game because you have to make smart decisions.The learning i have made from this game is that you don’t always win even if you have the fastest person in the team. It has taught me to stay focussed and not to get distracted.
