How to play:
The first team sends someone to the front for their team.Â
They throw the ball and hit a letter on the board.Â
Their team then must think of a word beginning with that letter, their whole team must chant the word three times for the points.
They can do this for up to ten throws, accumulating points. They can stop whenever they want.Â
If they hit a ‘hot spot’ you have written down, they lose all the points they earned.Â
Once they stop their turn or hit a hot spot, move onto the next team.Â

How to modify the game:
How to modify the game:
Introduce a "double points" spot where hitting it doubles the points for that word, adding a risk-reward element.
Allow teams to pass the ball to another team member after each throw, increasing engagement and participation.
Add a rule where teams must use the word in a sentence before chanting it to earn points, enhancing language practice.
