Preparation
1.      Chairs need to be set, 6 chairs for each side. And 6 chairs for the prison.
2.      The teachers need to pick 8 more students to join the play.
3.      One of the teachers will become the Marshall and the rest will become bandits and sheriffs.
4.      The number will be given by the Marshall
5.      Stationery in the middle of the class, bandits in the left side, sheriff in the right side, Marshall stand at the end of the room.
How you do it

1.      Split the children into 2 groups, bandit and sheriff and they will sit facing each other but far.
2.      The stationery will be placed in the middle but slightly close to the bandit side.
3.      The Marshall will stand at the end of the room next to some empty chairs which are the prison.
4.      All bandits and sheriffs received a number each. This will later be used by the Marshall to play the game.
5.      The game starts by The Marshall calling out an object and say a number, e.g. pencil, two. Then, the bandit number 2 starts running towards the object and picks it, and at the same time, sheriff number 2 chases the bandit.
6.      If the bandit managed to pick the object and safely returned to his/her chair without getting “caught” by the sheriff, he/she then needs to shout “I’ve got the pencil!” The bandit team keeps the pencil. But, if the sheriff caught the bandit, he/she needs to shout “I caught bandit number two!” and then confiscates the pencil and the bandit goes to prison.
7.      The game continues until all the objects have been stolen or confiscated, or until all the bandits are in prison. The team with the most objects wins.
