Who can hold onto their gold medal the longest?
Protect the Gold Medal
Every athlete wants to win a gold medal – in this challenge, you need to protect your medal!
Let’s begin!
Step 1
- 1 person will be the athlete and needs to choose an object you have with you to be your gold medal.
- Put the ‘medal’ on the floor in front of your feet.
Step 2
- Then, everyone else in the group will work to try and grab the medal.
- To stop the others from grabbing the medal, the athlete will try to tap everyone else.
Step 3
- If you get tapped, you have to take 5 steps back and do 5 star jumps before you can try and get the medal again!
Step 4
- Whoever is successful in taking the medal becomes the new athlete!
If you want an extra challenge – change up the exercises that people have to do when they get tapped!
