An activity that is bound to get participants laughing and working together to achieve a simple goal!
Materials
A long stick (tent poles are perfect for this)
How to Play
- Have participants stand in two lines facing each other about 1m apart
- Ask them to place their hands in front of themselves at stomach height with their index fingers pointing straight (like they are signalling an AFL goal)
- Place the large stick onto their fingers and explain that it is full of helium and when you let go, it will float up
- Explain that as a group their aim is to lower it to the ground
- All players must have both fingers touching the stick at all times
- **When you let go the stick will instantly start rising, keep reminding them to have both fingers touching
- If it goes so high that it falls, start the game again
- If they get it to the ground, have a discussion with them and then repeat the activity if time permits to allow them to improve their performance
