Phase: Activities

Divide the class into smaller mini groups (depending on class numbers, roughly 3 groups that consist of 8 students) that will work together. The objective for each team is to get all players from the start position and navigate the swamp through the use of tyres (spots) and planks (poles) to the finish without landing in the swamp. 

RULES:

- If a player within the group looses balance and falls off the plank (pole/pipe) and touches the ground with any body part, then that player must go back to the start
- Players are allowed to position/re-position plank (pole/pipe) from tyre-to-tyre (spots) in order to get to the finish

PROGRESSIONS: 

- Introduce blindfolds. 1/2/ or 3 students from each mini group must be blindfolded and helped through the course from start to finish. If at any point in the activity the blindfolded student falls off, the entire team must go back to the start and try again. 
- Time each mini group to see who can get the fastest time to complete the course
