Description

An obstacle course race to find out the most popular badges covered already...

Resources

Images of the badges your Squirrels have tried so far - cut them out.
3 Buckets.
3 post it notes.
Pen.
Skipping Rope.
Bean bags.
Hoops.
Any other obstacles suitable for Squirrels.

Instructions

1. Ahead of time, print out some images of the badges your Squirrels have tried so far . Cut these out and set aside.
2. When you're ready to play the game, ensure you have a clear, open space.
3. Using the skipping rope, bean bags and hoops, create a fun obstacle course for your Squirrels to run around in.
4. Place the cut out images of the different badges inside the hoops.
5. Take the three buckets and three Post-it notes. Draw a smiley face on one Post-it note, a neutral face on the other, and a sad face on the other. Put one Post-it on each of the three buckets.
5. During the obstacle course, Squirrels should pick up an image of a badge they have completed. When they reach the end of the obstacle course, they should put the badge image in the smiley, neutral or sad bucket, depending on how much they enjoyed completing that badge.
6. At the end of the meeting, go through each bucket and see which badges appear to be the most and least popular.
7. Make a note of the results and possibly use them in creating future programme.
