Terrain games with color / many colored dots

There are about 3 to 5 posts (depending on the number of leaders). Each post has several numbers, for the different numbers the players have to solve different tasks. The posts are distributed in and around the house. The tickets (1x, 2x, 3x) are filled in by the leader at the post.

It is about the story of Joseph in Genesis 41

For this purpose, everyone stands in a circle and one person (the goose) stands outside the circle. He walks in a circle around the people and when he touches someone, the person touched has to make a circle around the circle, racing the goose, and return to his place. However, if the goose gets there first, it stays put and the other person becomes the new goose.

It is important to remember that when the goose touches someone, it runs in the direction it is walking, and the person touched, in the opposite direction.

Gameplay: The Jungschärler get the order (eg Wanted poster as a start) to look for the lost sheep. They then go from post to post until they find the sheep. At each post there is a leader in disguise. The children are each given a clue as to where the next post is and how to deal with that person to get information. If the specified criteria are not met, the leader does not give information!

Generally, the more leaders, the better. The listed variant can be expanded depending on the time budget and present leaders.

At the end, a big party can be celebrated!:)
