Setup:
Two gymnastic boxes (or similar objects) are placed in a corner of the room with some space between them, forming the dragon’s cave. Alternatively, a single mat can be used to represent the cave, though it is less visually engaging.
One child is selected to be the dragon and starts inside the cave.
The other children spread out across the room.
Gameplay:
The children call out: "Dragon, come out!"
The dragon leaves the cave and tries to catch one of the children.
When a child is caught, they are brought back to the cave and become a dragon as well.
The children call out again: "Dragon, come out!" Now, all dragons hunt together to catch more children.
The game continues until all children are caught.
Winning:
The last child caught is the winner and becomes the first dragon for the next round.
Making It More Challenging:
Dribbling Challenge: All children must dribble a ball while running, making it harder to escape the dragon.

Handball demands explosive power, repeated sprint ability, and the strength to compete physically for 60 minutes. Sport-specific conditioning develops the athletic qualities that underpin elite performance.
