The "Ball Pick-up" game is a dynamic and engaging activity designed to be played during physical education (PE) classes. The primary objective for each team is to gather as many balls as possible into their team's hoop within a three-minute timeframe. To play this game, the necessary equipment includes a set of hoops and a collection of small balls or quoits, which are to be placed centrally within the playing area for participants to collect.

Teams are composed of three players each, and the game operates under a simple set of rules to ensure fair play and structure. Initially, one member from each team takes turns to dash towards the central pile of balls, grab one, and then hurry back to place it in their team's hoop. This process continues in a relay fashion until all the balls from the centre have been collected. Following this, the game intensifies as teams are then allowed to strategically 'raid' the hoops of their opponents, taking one ball at a time to add to their own collection. The team with the most balls in their hoop at the end of the three minutes emerges victorious.
