Your task! The Trust Walk! In your teams take it in turns to be the navigator (guide). The rest of the team are to be blindfolded. Slowly spin the first team member around a few times so that they do not know which direction they are headed. From this point on, the guide should not touch the team member at all, you will have to rely on the guides directions. (e.g. “About five steps ahead, there is a branch. Step over it slowly.”) The guide is solely responsible for the team members’ safety. He or she should be navigated to avoid obstacles. Once the guide has successfully got a team member to the end of the trail, he/she should swap with the successful team member so that all can get a go! The first team to get all members round the trail, with no accidents, wins! N.B. if you fall over, you have to start again!!!

Your task! Photo Scavenger Hunt! Your teacher will give you a list with 10 different items on it. In your teams you must go around school finding these items. Once found, you must take a photo of all team members and that item. You only have 20 minutes to find all 10! Good luck!!! When you return to lesson, we will present all the groups’ findings as evidence!

Your task! The Great Egg Drop! Each group will be given several items, (e.g straws, a roll of masking tape, one fresh egg, newspaper, etc.). You will have 20 minutes to complete building a structure, with the egg inside. When time expires, your teacher will collect in each structure and drop them from at least 10 feet in elevation and then we will inspect to see if the eggs have survived. The winners are the groups that were successful in protecting the egg.
