Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

The aim is to inform them about healthy lifestyles.




Resources

Rope / Tape to make a 4X4 grid.

A representation of this grid on paper for the team leaders.
Pens
Post-its
Means for a Wall between the grids so teams cannot see the other teams grid (we used table tennis tables)

Instructions

Let the Scouts write down examples of unhealthy things on Post-it notes mentioned in a brief about healthy lifestyles.

Split Scouts into equal teams, let them decide who wants to be the team leader. The team leader will be in charge of keeping track of the squares their team have stepped in by marking it on a sheet of paper.

The aim is to avoid the unhealthy objects .

The team decides where each person will stand, the team leader has the final say.

Each team member has 3 lives. They lose a life if they step in a square that the other team has an unhealthy object in.

Winning team: the one with the most lives remaining when all the unhealthy object squares are found / last to find all of the unhealthy object squares.

To extend or shorten the game, change the size of the grid and add/omit unhealthy things.
