DIY Dynamix - Bamboozle 'em

Materials:

1 small item that fits in the palm of your hand

Cones (4 or more)

Setup:

• Use the cones to set up a goal line for each team. Split your group into two teams and have them start by standing on their goal line.

Goal:

• To be the team to get the most Bamboozle Touchdowns.

How to Play:

• Each team will stand at opposing end lines to start the game. One team will be offense to start and the other team will start as defense.
• The offensive team starts by huddling up around the referee (facilitator). The referee will give one player the small item. This player will cup his/her hands to hide the item in his/her hands. Before the offensive players break the huddle, all players will cup their hands so that the defensive players cannot tell who has the item.
• On “Go!”, both teams run towards the opposite end line. The defensive players are trying to tag the offensive players.
• Once an offensive player is tagged they must stop and show if they have the item or not.
• A touchdown is scored if the offensive team gets the item all the way across the opposite end line without that player being tagged.  
• Switch roles after each round and repeat.

Rules:

• Tagged offensive players must stop and show if they have the item or not.
• If they have the item, the round is over.

Possible Discussion Questions:

• What was your team’s strategy for getting the object across the finish line?
