The Great LunchTime Game

The Great Lunchtime Game.

We play capture the flag at lunchtime. The game is played with two teams - one team is identified with bibs and the other team has nothing. Both teams have to go to the ends of the field to their base with the cones around the flag since we don’t have flags we just use the rugby balls. There is a person in the middle umpiring the game.

When the umpire asks both teams are they ready and they say yes then he says “let's get it on”.  Then both teams have to stay on dividends or run to the middle and try to get to the other team's base. If the team is in the base you can’t tag them or goose guard them.

First we have to set the cones at the halfway line and make a base at each end of the field.

The aim of the game is to try to get the flag back to your side of the field without getting tagged so you can get a point or stay on defend so the other team doesn’t get a point.

Strategies we can use in Capture the flag are: The first one is when they are out of the box and  there far away you can go by the base and block it so they can’t get back in.

The second one is to not fall for their tricks like if they say “here come grab the ball I won't tag you” and then when you go and get the ball they while tag you.                  

“A lesson I have learned from capture the flag is that it’s important to have fun and teamwork it’s not just about winning and being a champion”.
