Description

Test your teamwork skills and coordination in this Star Wars inspired game.

Resources

Coat hanger (1 per team)
4 Ropes of various lengths (4 per team)
A bucket or tub with a handle (1 per team)
Additional objects that can be picked up with a coat hanger (optional)
Hoops (1 per team)
A device connected to the internet

Instructions

Make sure you have plenty of space to play this game. You could play this game outside.
Prepare the game by tying four pieces of rope to each of the coat hangers.
Set out clear start and end zones for each team. This’ll help guide teams and make sure no-one bumps into each other.
At the start zone, place the bucket and coat hanger (with ropes attached)
At the end zone, mark out an area where each team can drop the bucket. This’ll be the deactivation zone and can be with rope, cones, a hoop and so on.

Gather everyone around and tell them that today they’re going to be Jedi younglings.
Explain that you’re going to play a game to test their Jedi skills.
If you’ve a device connected to the internet, tell everyone you’re going to meet the Young Jedi and play Star Wars: Young Jedi Adventures - Meet the Young Jedi. (on YouTube)

Play the game:

Ask everyone to get into small Jedi Clans (groups) of four Jedi. The Jedi clans can be bigger or smaller if needed, just make sure everyone has a rope to hold, attached to the coat hanger.

Explain that the bucket is the droid, and it needs rescuing.

Using the ropes, each clan of Jedi need to work together to pick up the droid, with the hook of the coat hanger.

They then need to carry the droid to the safe zone, which is marked out with hoops, cones or similar.

Each clan needs to make sure the droid (bucket) doesn’t touch the ground. If it does, they’ll need to start again. A good Jedi tip is that you’ll need to keep the rope tight.

Everyone needs to make sure they’re only holding the end of their rope. If anyone gets too close to or touches the droid, they’ll need to start again.

If the Jedi clan successfully transports their droid, you can reset the game and increase the difficulty. You can do this by adding objects at the start that the clan will need to put in the bucket using the coat hanger before transporting it across the space. You could also have a time challenge.
