Two teams line up on either side of a center line (for example a bench or a net). On each side there is an equal number of beanbags or balls. The aim is to “clean” your own side by getting as many objects as possible over to the opposing team’s side. When the game ends, the team with the fewest objects on its side wins.

You can set different requirements for how the objects are moved (for example pushing with the head, kicking with the heel, kicking with both feet, etc.). This also challenges coordination to a greater extent.

The game can be played in different settings: outdoors, in a gym, or in a swimming pool. In the pool, you can use a lane divider or a net as the center line, and for example foam objects and balls instead of beanbags.
