Go To The Market

Tell the players that in this game we are going to look at why every child has a right to clean and nutritious food and what happens if you don't get it.

Mark a playing area with a "safety zone" and a "market zone" at both opposite ends of the field (see image).

Divide the players into several teams (depending on the number of players) and have them stand behind the "safety" zone.

Ask one (or two) volunteers to be the "thief" (cf. the "barking dog" in the image) who will stand inside the playing zone.

When the facilitator calls "Go to the market", the team has one player at a time run across the playing field and they try to reach the "market" zone on the other side of the field without being tackled by the thief. If the player successfully runs to the "market" zone without being tapped, they receive a food card.

After taking a food card, the player must run back to the "Home/Security" zone without being tapped by the thief.

If the player is tagged while running from the "Safety" zone to the "Market", that player must return to his group and send another player to run. If the player is tagged while running from the "market" to the "safety zone", that player must drop the food card on the "market" and return to his group and send another player to run.

The group that gets six different food cards first wins!

At the end of the game, you can gather the players in a circle to discuss the right to survive (see additional game information).
