Setup, Equipment & Instructions
- Smashies start holding a ball at a start line with another line 5-10 metres away and two target lines or objects beyond that.
- On the call of ‘go’ Smashies can move forward towards the next line.
- Shout ‘super’ to get the Smashies to jump into a side-on ‘star shape’ with the ball in their outside hand and other hand facing forward.
- If any Smashies do not get into a star shape within the allocated time they go back to the start line.
- Once they reach the Shooting Star line, they jump into a star shape and shoot their star (the ball) with a straight arm (call out ‘shooting star’ for the Smashies to know when to release the ball).
