Activity 3 – Treasure Catch

• Split the group into 4 or 6 teams depending on the size of the learning area. Place the 4 or 6 hoops around the outside of the area and line the teams up behind their own hoop. This is their treasure chest. Teacher/coach to place a 20/30 items (Tennis balls, dodgeballs, bean bags) in
  the middle of the learning area.
• Each group will have a second hoop in front of the first 2/3 meters away.
• One child at a time from each group will run out to the middle and collect one item of treasure, they will then turn, run and stand in their second hoop facing their team. The child will then throw the item to the waiting group and if the person at the front catches the item they win one point and put the treasure in their chest.
• If they don’t catch the item it must go back in the middle of the area.
• Play this activity for 5/10 minutes.
• Once all the items have gone from the middle, one child at a time can run out and steal a item from another teams chest. If they catch it they keep the point, if they drop it, this must be returned to the team they stole from.
• At the end of the allocated time, count up the items and that is the teams score.
