Inventing a game with no man-made equipment
Indigenous Australians have traditionally played some exciting
games, but without any of the man-made sports equipment we have
today.
Imagine you no longer have access to any of the sporting equipment
currently available to you at home (e.g. balls, bikes, skipping ropes,
etc.) and design a physically active game that can be played by two
or more people, requiring only natural resources (used in an
environmentally friendly way).
You may modify an existing game by changing the equipment to
natural resources and changing the rules and playing space.
Present your game as a poster on the back of this sheet, so that
others may read it and understand how to play. Use diagrams and
words to make it simple to read.
Points for this project: Score out of 100. Your team members will receive the same score so work
together, don’t leave it up to one person to do most of the work.
