How to play
Divide into two equal teams with goals at each end. Everyone gets into crab position (hands and feet on ground, bottom down). On the whistle, play begins. Participants can only kick with their feet. Most goals in the allowed time wins.
Before starting this game it's a good idea to check that everyone is wearing appropriate clothing, and it may be helpful to ask everyone in advance to wear shorts or pants, not skirts or dresses.
