-Equipment Link:
-Setting Up:
-
Players are formed into groups of three to four players per team.
-
One player stands on the end of the playing area.
-
The other players stand at the other end.
-
Two buckets of clothes pegs are placed midway between the two end lines.
-Instructions:
-
On the signal to begin, players find someone to play (usually not from their own team).
-
They compete in a game of rock, paper, scissors (rock smashes scissors, scissors cuts paper, and paper covers rock).
-
When players win they run to the clothes pegs bucket, select a clothes peg, run to their player, attach the clothes peg to their clothes, and then run back to compete again.
-
When time is up (or most of the clothes pegs are gone) players count the clothes pegs on their porcupine.
-
The team with the most clothes pegs is the winner.
-Questions & Notes:
-
Variation:
-
If you have different coloured clothes pegs than, as a surprise at the end of the game, assign different values to different colours and build in numeracy :)
