River Crossing

Setup

  • Cones or lines to mark each “bank” of the river at each end of the playing space, about 25m apart
  • Groups of three or four participants
  • One disc per group

Objective

  • Be the fastest team to move the disc from one side of the “river” to the other by throwing between participants

Area

  • Show the participants which lines indicate the “banks”

Functions

  • Players move the disc by passing to each other
  • If the disc is dropped, the whole team needs to go back to the “bank” and start again

Safety

  • You can take extra steps to slow down, but once you have stopped you cannot move until you have thrown the disc.
  • Players return to the starting point by going around the outside of the playing area

CHANGE IT ideas

  • Area: make the river bigger or smaller
  • Number of players: less per team encourages more passes
  • Game rules: add a challenge of which team can do it in the least number of passes
