Preparation

Before the game, the group quarters and the coal mine must be cordoned off. The game money must be available

Gameplay

*The children are divided into groups.

*When the children arrive at their quarters, they can identify two robbers. These will be given a ribbon.

*When the game is started by the game leader, all the children can go to the "coal mine" and earn money there by doing a sports activity (see Ideas for posts). They are to take this money to their quarters, where it will then be safe.

*The two robbers can catch the other children during this time and steal the money from them. (As a variation, you can include a "rich man" who is played by a leader. This one has a bag full of money and all the robbers can catch him. So they can win a big bonus depending.)

Closing the game

The game can be stopped simply by the game master, or only after a certain amount of money has been collected.

• 10 Bäume berühren
• ...
