Two to three people sit inside a triangle made of three gym benches. The rest of the participants stand around on the outside.
In the middle of the triangle lies a “depot” with balls or beanbags. The people in the middle should throw or push all the balls/beanbags out of the triangle as quickly as possible. The participants standing around should just as quickly retrieve them and place them back into the depot within the benches.
The people in the middle continue to empty the depot until time runs out.
You can either:
- agree on a time period and let the game be without winners, or
- count up at the end:
Variation

- Beanbags are placed around the hula hoop.
- The person in the middle must fumble their way to the beanbags and get rid of them by throwing them out.
- The other participants stand around and place the beanbags back into the hula hoop.
