Planking

Instructions

Everybody takes a robe to hold in one hand. If you don’t have enough people some will need to take two robes.

Purpose of the activity is to balance the board with a cup of water on it by pulling on the robe.

You practice by going up and down together. And by walking in a circle.

If that works, you tell them the task. Everybody has to go through a bicycle tire making sure that the cup with water doesn’t spill.

When it doesn’t work you can give a tip:

• Make sure that the tire has a way in and way out and stays the same the whole activity.
• Split your group in two where the first part will stand close to each other and the other whole the board in balance.
• If the first group went through the tire, the second group has to start by first putting the tire over the board with the water.
