Pushing through:

Players take it in turn to run and squeeze through the small openings between the blue players, being strong to drive through the blocking man.

Blue players must keep their arms down when blocking the running man and only use their core strength to prevent the man running through (no shoulder barges).

Sumo strength:

Cone off a small square area with all between 4-8 players inside it.

In a Sumo style players, using only the side of your body, hands and arms, players must try to push and pull the other players out of the square.

See who the last player is inside the square.
