Strawberry field

To begin, divide participants into 2, 3, or 4 teams of approximately 6-8 people and assign them an area in the gym that will serve as their starting point. Next, place the cones in the center of the gym at equal distances for each team.

At the signal from the activity leader, all participants can move towards the cones to pick them up with their noodle and bring them back behind their starting line. It is forbidden to touch the cones with the hands or to push them on the ground with the noodle. If a cone falls off the fry while a participant is moving, they must pick it up again from where it fell.

If two people are competing for the same cone, the first person to touch it with their noodle has priority to pick it up and carry it, and no one is allowed to push someone else to hit the cone with their own noodle to knock it down.

The game ends when there are no more cones available, and the team with the most cones is declared the winner.

 

Blueberry Field Version

Replace the cones with noodlettes. Now, only two people per team at a time with one noodle each are allowed to collect the blueberries (noodlettes). They are not allowed to touch the blueberries with their hands, and the blueberries must be carried in the air. In other words, they cannot push the blueberries on the ground with their noodles. Two new people can head for the blueberries as soon as the first pair has returned behind the team’s starting line.

 

Adaptations/variations

• Change the type of movement (on one foot, feet together, other)
• Use your non-dominant hand
• Award more or fewer points depending on the color of the cone or noodlette
• Possibility of stealing cones or noodlettes from another team

Specific safety rule

Participants must never hit each other with a noodle. If the noodles are used in a dangerous manner or if certain participants disobey the safety rules, please remove the equipment from these participants’ hands to protect others.
