Materials Materials for large group scavenger hunt events can include: scavenger hunt lists and clues, backpacks, pencils, paper, compasses, cell phones, gps geocaching , maps and more. Location Room for group to meet and end up in; fun area for scavenger hunt Typical scavenger hunt events for large groups will be facilitated outdoors in a down town city, zoo, outdoor theme park or other fun and adventurous location.
Scavenger hunt locations for large groups often follow a theme such as mission impossible or clue based themes. Directions The following is one idea for a large group scavenger hunt event: After groups are formed, ask one representative to come up and get a paper bag with the scavenger hunt list in it.
Establish the boundaries, which are usually the room itself. Tell them to be creative in finding the items on the list and put them in the bag. As long as they can justify it, and can convince the audience it will work. Call time after ten minutes.
Have each group explain their items. Suggested scavenger hunt items: Generic list: 1. Paperclip 2. Pet leash 3. Ticket stub 4. Scissors 5. Pencil 6. Out of state license 7. Bingo marker 8. Pocket knife 9. The oldest penny Baby picture or Creative List: 1. Also consider thematic lists: camping trips, holidays, etc. Variation: Alphabet scavenger hunt: have each group find something on their bodies that begins with each letter of the alphabet, have them record the words on a sheet of paper.
See a team scavenger hunt comparison chart for variations. Build the Tallest tower Objectives Communication Collaboration Team Strategy Illustrate the importance of collaboration among groups working to achieve similar goals. Demonstrate how competition can be potentially destructive. Group Size Medium. There is no model for the pre-built tower - it can look like anything you want - the more complicated it is the harder it will be for the groups to replicate.
Each group will be missing some of the supplies necessary to build their tower, but between the groups they will have enough to build 3 towers identical to the pre-built tower if they decide to collaborate and share supplies. The facilitators should make sure this is not immediately obvious, and once it becomes more obvious, the facilitators should neither discourage or encourage collaboration. The groups will be purposely set against each other through competition and therefore they will be less likely to collaborate.
Use appropriate additional debrief questions based on the groups choice to collaborate or not to collaborate. Procedure: 15 min Begin by randomly dividing participants into small groups and organizing the groups in different areas of the room. Traditionally, cheerleading tryouts have been perceived as being a popularity contest, with the most popular students at school being chosen for the squad. However, that is no longer the case.
The sport is taken more seriously now, so the successful recruits are the ones who demonstrate the necessary skills to excel in cheerleading. Here is what you should be thinking about with your little one before they try out. Your child will need to show their dedication to the sport as cheerleading requires a lot of training, learning moves and a time investment. So it always helps to be prepared. If they start training early, they will begin to grasp not only the mechanics of cheerleading, but also the nature of the sport.
That way, they can decide whether or not they are ready to commit. Jumping jacks and T-jumps are the basis for many of the routines and helping your child perfecting their handstand will help them to land cartwheels. Check out these exercises on Activekids to get started. It could be argued that this is even more important than being athletic and landing all of the moves.
Since teamwork is a huge component of cheerleading, you should encourage your child to make friends with the other children who are trying out. Tryouts can take many formats but the most common method is that children spend some time learning cheers and then perform in front of a panel of judges at the end of the training.
They will usually perform a chant, routine and in some cases a stunt. When they go to the final tryouts, they will be assessed on their technique, enthusiasm when cheering, rhythm, coordination and how well they do with gymnastic moves. Check first whether there are any regulations about the type of clothing that your little one can wear. Make sure that your child is wearing something which is easy to move around in and in which they feel confident. At this stage, there is no point of trying to cobble together an outfit that looks like a cheerleading uniform as they will be provided later.
They should just feel comfortable and confident at this stage. Do your best to console them and try not to criticize or reprimand them.
Instead, advise your kids to ask the coach for advice: they should find out what they can improve on for next time and start to polish their skills. Outside of practice they should consider doing some of these activities. Have them enroll in complementary activities such as dance, gymnastics or different team sports. Dance and gymnastics will help kids to get to grips with some of the basic moves and improve their flexibility and rhythm. With team sports they will maintain a base level of fitness that they will need for cheerleading, but they will also get used to working with other team members to achieve a common goal.
Each of these sports enhances a different skill used during cheerleading, so it may be a good idea to look at their weaker areas before deciding what else to do. In any case though, these sports do offer some crossover between skills and any of them will be useful.
Above all, training for these sports will help your kids get into a routine and train for cheerleading too. Active team sports will give your children some much needed cardio training so they may want to enrol in a basketball or football team, for example. For adults, this is usually achieved at the gym with weights and machines.
You could also use pom-poms as the passing item in this style of race. A cheerleading uniform race is another relay in which the kids can compete. One at a time, the players must put on the uniforms, run a designated course and then return to pass the uniforms onto the next members on their teams. The first team to complete the uniform relay wins.
To play this game, have the players sit in a line on the floor. The first player in line gets up in front of the group and makes up a single line chant while performing a cheerleading move. The second player in line then gets up and repeats the cheer and move that the first player made up, and then adds a cheer line and move of their own. The third player gets up and repeats the first two actions, adds their own and the game continues until all of the players have contributed a line and a move to the routine.
In the end, all players start from the first move and participate in a step-by-step performance of this new routine. To play this game, divide players into pairs. Give each pair two cheerleading uniforms, makeup kit, hair accessories, and a blindfold.
One member of the team gets to be the cheerleader and the other gets to be the stylist. The catch is that the stylist must wear a blindfold while dressing, styling the hair and putting makeup on the face of the cheerleader.
When the blindfold makeovers are done, players can switch roles and makeover their former stylists in the same blindfolded fashion. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data. Select personalised content. Create a personalised content profile.
