Game Formats
Capture The Flag (More Active)
A traditional outdoor game where two teams each have a flag (or other marker) and the objective is to capture the other team's flag, located at the team's "base," and bring it safely back to their own base.
Key Features: High body movement, maximum engagement, active running and dodging
Rules: Enemy players can be "tagged" by arrows when in their home territory. Depending on the rules, tagged players may be out of the game, become members of the opposite team, sent back to their own territory, or frozen in place ("in jail") until freed by a teammate.
Target Practice (Less Active)
As the name suggests, this format involves precision shooting where teams may shoot one at a time or together to hit designated targets and achieve scores.
Key Features: Focus on accuracy and technique, less body movement, skill-based competition
Objective: The team with the highest scores wins. This format emphasizes shooting accuracy over physical activity.
