If Poachers are not caught, and bring the animals back they must bring the wallet and string back to get the points.

Add points up from first team of Poachers in the break before re-hiding the animals

Ball games (for break)
Catch
Kids in a circle standing up.

They throw a ball to each other at random; if the ball is dropped any kid who attempted to catch it loses a limb after each miss:

Limb lost:
Arm
Leg
Other leg
Other arm (can only head-butt ball to another kid)
Out
Elephant football
Kids in a circle standing up, with legs wide enough for the ball to go through (to make a ‘goal’), one hand behind their back, one hanging down towards the floor like an elephant’s trunk. Feet should be touching the feet to either side so the circle is closed.

Ball in middle of the circle and kids use their ‘trunks’ to ‘kick’ the ball in any ‘goal’ (between the legs of another kid). Kids who don’t succeed in defending their ‘goal’ is out, and other kids move in to close the gap.
