Description

Two teams, four chair markers, or traffic cones, in a straight line, about three foot apart - or if outdoors more feet apart. This depends on the size of your room, adjust number of chairs/cones as required
Team members numbered wait at opposite ends of room.
This is a test of balance and speed.


Resources

2-4 chairs/cones - or Helping Staff could be the markers.
2 bean bags
Score board + chalk

Instructions

> Akela calls out the number
> YP with that number moves as quickly as possible through the slalom, with BEAN BAG ON HEAD. If it is dropped they have to stop, replace it on heads, then move off again to complete the slalom. They have to proceed through slalom on outward path, then turn around and return through cones to where they began.
> If they obstruct the opposition in their progress by bumping or jostling they lose a point.
> If they knock over the cone or chair, they lose a point.
> The first person back to their base position gets 2 points.
Depending on the number of YP in teams, this game could take 30mins or longer if outdoors with greater distance between the slalom markers.
