One hint I give kids on this level is “You need to think outside the Box!” 😉, you can see an example in the instagram post below: In this level students once again, attempt to get their entire team to the island – However, you have some bad news for all the teams… The water has picked up and they’ve lost one of their rocks! They must use creativity and brainstorm a way to get to the island with one less rock.If they fall in after saving their game, they can start over at the island.

If they make it to the island, it acts as a “Checkpoint” where they can “Save their game”. In this level students will attempt to cross the ENTIRE river.In this level students will learn how to get across the river with their team and attempt to make it to the island (gymnastics mats folded up).If any part of your body touches the “water” your entire team must start over.No sliding or throwing the PE equipment.To start the game, I give my K-2 students 1 more dot than the members of their team, with 3-5th they get the same number of dots as team members. The setup below is for one class, for double classes I would simply double the equipment. I shoot for about 5-7 kids on each team, but you can modify and adjust for different situations.If you don’t have time for the video check out the summary of the game below, or download the free lesson plan at the bottom of this post.
