EQUIPMENT
5 hula-hoops
4 short cones per student
1 tall cone per student
1 fuzzy ball per student
OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Concrete Redwood II. In this game, the objective is to try and build the tallest redwood tree out of cones. Remember, we are working together in this game to help us create a community.
INSTRUCTIONS
I will divide the class into two teams.
Before the game begins, line up shoulder-to-shoulder on either the baseline or end line.
When I say, “GO!” each person on your team will collect one cone from each hula-hoop (5 cones per person in total).
Once you have collected all your cones, your team will have one minute to build the tallest redwood(s) you can.
When time is up, line up in the middle of the field with a fuzzy ball.
When I say, “GO!” throw your fuzzy ball at the opposing team’s redwood trying to knock it down.
We will begin a new game once everyone has thrown.
Game 1: Play as indicated above.
Exit Ticket: Students answer how these games helped them a build community.
