Bark Relay
Join an ancient forest competition: the magical Bark Relay. Your goal? To transport a pine cone or a marble on a piece of bark from a starting point to a finish line without letting the treasure touch the ground. Sounds like a challenge? It is! But I know you can do it with your friends!
What you'll need
- A piece of bark for each player
- A pine cone or a marble
- One team or two teams
How it works
-
You need two lines: a start line and a finish line. Your team lines up between these two lines, each holding a piece of bark.
-
The first player places the pine cone or marble on their bark and tilts it carefully to roll the treasure to the next player.
-
Each player must catch the pine cone or marble with their bark and roll it to the next player. But be careful! The treasure must not touch the ground.
-
Once the pine cone or marble leaves a player's bark, they must run to the end of the line as quickly as possible to catch the treasure before it touches the ground.
-
If the treasure reaches the finish line safely without touching the ground, you win.
-
Ready for the adventure? Grab your bark, your friends, and the magical treasure, and let the race begin! Have fun!
