Equipment

Something for a halfway line (eg: t-shirt or a line on the floor)

Something to make two vaults (eg: a rolled up jumper)

As many small things as you can find to be the gold (eg: balls or shoes or anything you can find)

How to Set Up

Two vaults, spaced out, with a halfway line between them

Equal amounts of gold in each half. As much gold as you can get

Players in two groups, give them a vault each

Two Rules

One piece of gold at a time

Only collect gold from the other half

How to Play

Go to the other half - where your vault isn't - and collect a piece of gold

Bring it back to your vault

Go again!

How to End

The first player to collect all the gold from the other player’s half wins

Level One. Add Tagging

Players can now tag each other, but only when a player comes into their half

If tagged, drop any gold, go back to the vault for five seconds and then go again

Level Two. Add Golden Tails

Players tucks a t-shirt into the back of their waistband with most of it hanging out. That’s the golden tail

If a player from the other team grabs the golden tail, they win the whole game!

Level Three. Tagging and Golden Tails

Players can now tag each other to stop each other collecting gold

But each player also has a golden tail. If a player grabs a golden tail, they win

Boss Level. #PlayYourWay

Power Ups

1
Remove the “only collect one piece of gold at a time” rule

2
Give players specific jobs, some players are collectors and some are taggers (great if you have more than two players)

3
Play with four golden nuggets. If two nuggets gets captured and taken to a vault, the team that collects them wins, but if they are tagged with one they loose the whole game

4
Play so that tagging can happen anywhere

5
Place small gates across the halfway line. Players can only go through these to get the gold and back

6
Play with no half way line, all the gold is up for grabs. Who can grab the most?

7
Give each player two golden tails

8
Play with super powers. Create special powers each player has that can impact the play of the other player

9
Add a time limit and make it a race against the clock

Level the Playing Field

1
Change the amount of gold each player has to collect

2
Change the way some players move (hop or jump instead of run for example)

3
Move the vaults closer to or further away from the halfway line
