Ghostbusters:

The object of the game is for player 1 to lose his shadowing partner, player 2. Player 2 must dribble at speed, tracking player 1.

When the coach shouts out, "Who you gonna call?" The kids reply "Ghostbusters!" At this point everyone freezes.

The coach should gauge the distance between partners as a measurement of their success.
