Description

Compete to get complete set of cards from one base to the other without getting caught

Resources

"bop-its" (pipe insulation) or some form of touch football tag
At least six sets of cards per playing team (see download) I laminate them for hygiene.
Two buckets per playing team. One for the blacksmith end and one for St George's end.

Covid - wipes to clean the cards and hand sanitizer

Instructions

Picture this...

St George and the Dragon. St George needs to get ready before he rides out to meet the Dragon. The blacksmiths of the land have developed a new secret defence - new armour. This new armour is separated into 5 different pieces so that if a Dragon Spy intercepts one, then they don't get the whole armour. It is only effective if all five pieces arrive for St George and his brave knights. But the armour bits are in the village and the armour needs to be in the castle. Between the village and castle is the swap filled with spies of the dragon.

Team one - St George's spies
Your task is to get the pieces of armour from the blacksmith's to the castle. You can only take one piece. You need to hold that piece out in front of you.

The team has to coordinate and get their pieces down to the castle.

Team two - Dragon's spies
Your task is to stop the other team. You do so by bopping them using the bop it. You can be anywhere in the field except for a set distance from the blacksmith's.

If you are bopped. You must leave the playing area and make your way back to the blacksmith's end and start. The adult will then let you attempt it again.

Those who cheat will be dragon bait.

You only count complete armour (5 parts) for their score, so the St George's team not only have to avoid capture but also communicate which parts they have successfully delivered, so that they can ensure they get as many complete sets as possible.

The teams swap over. The playing cards and bop-its are sanitized.

After the two games, the players can have a reflection and chat to strategize and see if they can do better. Can the PL help direct?
