Aim

To throw the quoits in such a way so that they are ‘caught’ on the limbs of their partner.

Welcome to the future! Professor Levitas has just invented the ultimate toy ... a flying skateboard. You can buy floating bands and lots of other small floating things from shops but the skateboard is the biggest floating toy so far! You and your friends have climbed to the top of a very tall building to play in the rooftop garden. Then disaster strikes, one of your friends crashes the fl ying skateboard on the next-door skyscraper! Your friend is as stuck as a blackbird baked in a pie! Luckily, you have a collection of floating bands, and four of them could be enough to carry a small person through the air, and back to safety!

Instructions

Two hoops must be positioned to represent the skyscrapers. The rescue person must stand on one skyscraper and the crash victim on the other. The rescue person will need a supply of floating bands (quoits) nearby.

The teacher tells the crash victim that to fly to safety he must catch a band for each arm and leg. There are 2 additional rules: Each band must be caught with the appropriate limb! Any band hitting the floor will be broken, and therefore cannot be used.

The rescue person must attempt to throw the quoits so that they land on the limbs of their partner.

After trying this activity, the children should swap roles.
