Italian term or phrase: una partita a "bandiera" o a rachettoni
Tutte in spiaggia con un pareo super originale! E per divertirsi neinte di meglio che una partita a "bandiera" o a rachettoni!

Not sure what a partita a bandiera would be. Also is rachettoni that game with the paddles you play on the beach? What would be the English equivalent?

Thanks in advance.

Explanation:
ruba bandiera is a traditional italian game where two teams line up on opposite sides and each of the team members are numbered. There's one guy in the middel holding a "flag", who calls out a number (eg. 1) and then the number "1s" from the two opposite team run to grab the flag and bring it back home. There's no corresponding translation but that is how it's described on the web in English
