Island Challenge
Target Themes: Leadership, Community, All Together
Supplies: Pieces of paper
Islands are laid out in a designated area of play. Groups must travel from point A to point B by only stepping on the islands. This may be presented as a competition between two teams, a race against the clock, or both!
There can be many variations with this game. Islands can be laid out in an easy/difficult pattern, be smaller/larger, etc. The children may not be able to verbally communicate, or they must have to hold hands in a line through the entire journey. A rule could be made where the first person cannot step off of the last island until the last person is on the first island, etc. Additionally, if someone steps into the water, an island may be removed from his or her team, making the challenge more difficult.
