Scavenger Hunt

Objective of Game

- To find as many items on the list as possible in the given amount of time

Facilitation

- Each team will be split into 4 smaller teams, with the nature of the theme being: information gathering, item-finding, photos and impossible

- There will be no limits to the number of people in each team

Instructions

- Participants will not know the items to be obtained beforehand- Once the signal is shown, they will be given the list of items* to be obtained- Participants are allowed to comb the whole school and outside of the school, so long as it

does not have any impact on other people- Participants can use any safe method necessary to obtain the items- Once the time is up, they are expected to be at the reporting venue- Marks will be deducted for tardiness

*Refer to annex 6 for the list of items

Scoring

impossible- However the maximum attainable score for this game is 100%- 5% of the overall marks will be deducted for every minute late or part thereof- The winner is the team that has scored the most points

Instructions

- There will be 2 halves played, each lasting 7 min- Players are to attempt to score as many goals as possible- Rules of the game would be much like soccer (e.g. no handball etc)- If a team scores, they will earn a point and there will be a change of possession.- Players will be bounded at the hands by a main connecting raffia - Only movement of legs and slight movement of the body will be allowed in the game- The team that has score the most points at the end of one match wins the match

Scoring

difference will be taken into account and the team with the highest positive goal difference will be ranked higher

- In the event that the net goal difference is the same, the number of goals scored and the number of goals let in would be taken into account

- The overall scoring would be based on the ranking system (refer to the scoring system)

Relay Race

Introduction

The concept of relay race is not a new one and is certainly not exclusive to scouts and guides. In fact, the most popular application of this concept would be the TV series “The Amazing Race”.

In this activity, we will conduct our own version of a relay race, which will involve scouts and guides knowledge or skills to complete certain challenges.

Objective of Game

- To complete all the challenges and be the first to plant their team flag in the finishing line

Layout

Note: X marks the finish point of the relay race

Facilitation

- Each team will be broken up into smaller teams- Each of the smaller team is to contain a mixture of scouts and guides- Each of the smaller team will be participating in one challenge- The active team (the team that is currently doing the challenge) will be holding on to the

team flag

Instructions

- Each small team are to be ready at the locations of the challenges they are supposed to complete

- The nature of the challenges will not be made known to the team beforehand- The teams at the start point will be given the signal to start their challenge- The teams will be informed of their challenges via slips of paper from the game masters- The only exception is station 1, where the game master will explain the challenge before the

start of the race- Once they are finished with their challenge, the whole team is expected to race over to the

next challenge point to pass on the flag- The teams at the other challenge points can only begin their challenges when they receive

the flag from the team that has completed the previous challenge- After the team has completed the last challenge, a lone runner from each team will be sent

to the end point where he or she will have to plant the team’s flag

Scoring

- The winner is the first team whose flag is planted- The scoring of this game will be based on ranking (refer to the scoring system for more

details)

Gladiator

Objective of Game

- To cross the balance beam obstacle as many times as possible to score a point- To defeat the opponent’s team members as much as possible

Facilitation

- Two teams will be in one playing field- Teams will be randomly matched up against one another

Instructions

- Each team will send out 1 participant at any one time- The participant is to cross the first 2 obstacles- After crossing the obstacles, the participant will be at the battle zone- The participant is free to cross over if there is no one in his or her way (i.e. the enemy is still

crossing the obstacle, or has failed the obstacle)- However, if the enemy is on the canteen table when the participant has not finished crossing

the battle zone, they will commence battle- The winner will go on to land on a ground sheet- After landing on the groundsheet, the participant can grab a manila rope to score a point

and return to his or her base via land- The second participant can be sent out after the first participant has failed in any one

challenge or has landed on the groundsheet

Obstacles

Obstacle 1- Obstacle 1 involves a balance beam- Participants are to cross the balance beam using any method, so long as no part of their

body touches the ground

Obstacle 2- Obstacle 2 is a stepping stone challenge- Participants are to jump from chair to chair without moving the chairs and touching the

ground

Page | 14

Rules

- Participants cannot touch the ground unless otherwise specified- Participants will not be able to score points for their teams if a body part of theirs touch the

ground

Rules of battle

- Participants will be given a pillow each- They are to attempt to push each other off the balance beam- The first to fall (hit the pool) will be unable to continue- The participant is disqualified if he or she lets go of the pillow- In the event of a tie, both parties will be unable to continue

Scoring

- Participants will score 1 point for every manila rope collected- The team that has obtained the maximum amount of points (50) wins- If the time limit is up, the team that scored more points win- The overall number of wins will be taken into account for ranking purposes- The team with the most overall number of wins will be the winner- Score will be based on ranking system (Refer to ‘Scoring System’ for more details)

Page | 15

Scoring System

Each game will be awarded up to a maximum of 100 points. If the game is won through ranking, the points awarded will be as follows:

First: 100 pointsSecond: 90 pointsThird: 80 pointsFourth: 70 pointsFifth: 60 pointsSixth: 50 points

If the game is won by points, the number of points obtained in the game will be converted to 100% and the score out of 100% will be taken for the overall scoring. For example:

If team A scores 142 / 240 points in the game, his score for the game in the overall scoring would be:

142/240 x 100% = 59.2

In the event that a team willingly gives up playing / finishing a game, that team will be awarded 0 marks for the game.

The team identity and flag can be awarded up to a maximum of 50 points each. Teams can also earn up to a maximum of 20 bonus points for any extra identity or tasks completed in the course of the telematch. No marks will be awarded for an uncompleted identity or flag.

The maximum score that can be attained is 720. The team that has the highest score at the end of the telematch will be the winner.
