Activity Set 15

Play

Photo Relay

Age Range: All age groups

Materials: Photos of the local area, taken by a Leader and mounted onto poster paper, with a number next to each photo for identification.

1 sheet of paper per team, with photo identification numbers down the left hand side for the answers, plus 1 pencil per team.

Directions: Stand the players in their teams, in relay lines, with an answer sheet and pencil.

Stick the photos on the wall at the other end of the hall.

On “Go”, the players take it in turns to run down and look at one photo that they can identify. They must also remember the number of the photo, so that when they run back, they can record the photo number and its identity.

When this is done, the next players in each team run down to the photos to do the same.

The first team home and seated, with the most answers correct, are the winners.

Design: Design a ‘Car of the Future’, draw it and label its parts. Then write a paragraph about its special features.
