PE Game Idea 22 | Leaning Tower

Arrange participants in pairs, facing each other, one step away from their partner. Each partner must place their fry on the floor like a tower (vertically) by holding it on top with their hand.

When both partners are ready, they must say “go” and release their noodle, then go catch their partner’s noodle before it falls to the ground.

If both partners catch the noodles before they fall to the ground, they can each take one step back and try to complete the activity again. If they do not, the participants can start again at the same distance.

Adaptations/variations

• To add a level of difficulty, have the noodles not stand on their own. If they do, ask participants to bend them slightly so that they cannot balance on their own.
• This game can also be done in a large group, standing in a circle.

 

For participants with reduced mobility, the activity can be done sitting down.

• Place the participants in a circle on chairs, one arm’s length apart, according to their ability
• Each participant must place his or her noodle on the floor like a tower (vertically) by holding it on top with their hand
• When the activity begins, each participant must say “go” and release their noodle, then go and catch their partner’s noodle with their left hand before it falls to the ground
• When participants are comfortable, switch hands to hold and catch. It is also possible to put a little more distance between participants.
