| 14 Feb 19:00 | 10 | Game : Squirrels and Robbers |
There are lots of robberies in the woods. The squirrel hides some nuts and the other animals steal, or the squirrel cannot find his hide out any more and is starving. The game involves the group being split into squirrels and robbers. The squirrels hide their nuts in the playing field (approx. 50x50m depending on the area available). The robbers are allowed to watch the squirrels from the edge of the playing field (or at a distance of 5 meters). In each round, the squirrels and robbers must spread out and collect a certain amount of nuts, which is different in each round, (depending on the size of the area and the difficultly level required, each round lasts from a few seconds up to 1-2 minutes). The players who do not manage this are out of the game. Image: By EstebanVel (Own work) [CC BY-SA 4.0 via Wikimedia Commons |
