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.
