Instructions

Assemble a Rocket

Instructions:
• Leading boy runs to ‘launch pad’ and places first stage on table before running back and tagging next boy as he returns to back of team. This next boy assembles next stage and so on until last piece is in place. Final boy then retrieves balloon from under launch pad and stands on it to burst it indicating that the team has finished.

• If rocket falls, team keep going, one boy and one piece at a time until re-built. Rocket must be standing when balloon is popped.

Moon and Stars

Instructions:
First boy runs to door following inter-planetary route, retrieves a star, returns to rear of team via same route and drops the star into bucket as he passes front of team. As star drops into bucket next boy retrieves next star and so on. Last piece to be retrieved is the moon which, when dropped into bucket, is the signal for the next boy to take the sun and stick it on the door. The team has finished when this boy passes the front of the team and all boys are seated.
