Data:
- Age group 7 to 14 years
- In equal place
- At least 3 supervisors
- About 30 min.
Materials:
- List of questions
- Two scarves or towels (one red and one green)
Rules:
Children divide into two groups. Each child is given a number to remember. For example you have 10 children in group "A" there will be children with number 1 to 5, in group "B" there will be children with number 1 to 5. When the children are divided into groups stand equidistant from the leader holding the scarves. Another leader next to him asks a question so that all the children can hear it. The same leader then says a number from 1 to 5 and the children from the two teams that are the corresponding number have to run out and take the scarf given colour for the right and wrong answer. If the question is correct they take the green scarf and if it is wrong they take the red scarf. For each correct answer the children get one point for their team. The game ends when you decide or when you have no more questions.
