PREFACE
The object of the game is to guess what the Great Wizards have put into their potion!

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Have each team ready and listening to instructions.

  • The camp manager will have each team standing with a coach in their section of the field.

    • When each group has settled in, let them know that the “wizards”(coaches) will be making a potion in front of their eyes and they will have to pay attention and guess how many of which object are in their “pot"(Rolling Cart or Container)

    • All the coaches will be grabbing balls, ropes, cones, etc and putting them into the “pot”

      • Put them in quickly, but no need to hide what you are putting in

    • After 25 seconds pass, cover the pot and give each team time to discuss how many of each equipment they saw getting put in

      • The coach will take their guess and tell the camp manager, who will write their guess on the whiteboard

  • Closest guess wins!

 

Variation: Play the game 2-3 times

Variation: No one can see what they are putting in

 

TEACHING TIPS

  • Use less types of equipment to make it easier to guess
