Objectives

The learner can consolidate the numbers.

Material

  • A Basque cap (a beret)

Preparation

  • Make sure the learners are familiar with the numbers by teaching or repeating them before you start doing this exercise.

Instructions

  • Divide the group into two teams, which line up across from each other. There should be 10 to 30 meters between the teams.
  • Give all the learners a number, the learners facing each other get the same number.
  • Appoint a captain for each team.
  • Place the Basque cap in the middle of the two teams.
  • Shout a number.
  • The two learners with the mentioned number have to run to get the Basque cap.
  • The learner who succeeds in bringing the cap behind the line of his/her team and handing it over to the captain first, gets a point.
  • The other learner can get a point if s/he succeeds in touching the other learner before s/he has reached the line.
  • Shout a second number if no one succeeds in grabbing the cap. That way the players can develop strategies on how to act.

Variant

  • You can use words instead of numbers to consolidate specific vocabulary.
  • To make the game more challenging (in terms of sport) players have to start at a specific spot or in a specific position.
