Lesson Steps
Activities
Team Building - Tarp
Students must stand on a tarpaulin that is laid out on the ground. They must all figure out as a team how they can flip the tarpaulin over onto the other side, with no one touching the ground.
Modifications
Make smaller groups of students to make it easier.

Team Building - Memory Maze
Spots are laid out to create a grid. The coach will be holding a card with a specific path that must be done to cross the grid. Students line up at one end and take turns trying to cross the grid. If they make a wrong move, then the coach will say so, and the child will go to the back of the line.
Modifications
Create a harder or more simple way to get through the grid.

Tug of War
Split the group into two teams, facing each other at opposite ends of the rope.
Each person stands in a straight line, grasping the rope. There is a marked line/cone on the ground in between each teams - to mark half way.
At the whistle, all at once they pull the rope until the front person has been pulled past the centre line.
Winning team is the team who has pulled the other team past the line.
Modifications;
- get all children to face toward the ends of the rope rather than the middle.
- children can only hold on with one hand - left or right.
