4th Solve the Puzzle
5th Tic Tac Toe
How to play:
Paste tapes on the ground to make 9 squares. Place them together 3 by 3 so
it will look a bit like a small chessboard. There will be two teams playing
against each other. Every team will be given 3 bean bags. Each team will be
standing in a row about 8 – 10 metres from the squares next to each other.
The facilitator will count them in to start the game. It is like a relay race. One
person from each team will take turns running to the tape area and put a
bean bag on a square with the objective to align the three bean bags to win.
It is like a simple game of tic tac toe. After the third bean bag, the fourth
person will have to run to the squares and change the placing of a bean bag.
This will continue onto the next team member until a team wins the game.
