EQUIPMENT
1 short jump rope per team
24 fuzzy balls
OBJECTIVE
Today we are playing Self-Driving Cars. In this game, the objective is to work with your teammate to retrieve one piece of cargo (fuzzy ball) at a time and return back safely.
INSTRUCTIONS
I will divide the class into teams of two.
One of you will be designated as the passenger and the other will be the engine.
The engine will have an end of the jump rope around his/her waist. He/she will lead the passenger.
The passenger will hold onto the other end of the jump rope. He/she will be led by the engine.
The passenger can communicate with the engine where to go, but cannot pull on the jump rope.
After every round, switch roles with your partner.
Game 1: Have partners travel short distances around the field together, taking turns with each role.
Game 2: The passenger and engine will start at the baseline and will retrieve one piece of cargo at a time from the end line and return.
Game 3: Spread the cargo throughout the field. The passenger and engine have to work together to retrieve as much cargo as they can.
