Een stap-voor-stap handleiding om het spel te spelen

1

Announce that you are organising a big sports tournament. All youth workers are coaches and all players are athletes. 

2

The athletes can practise their skills in three types of sport: ball games, gymnastics and athletics. Each group of exercises is trained by one coach. 

3

The coaches start the exercises at the basic level (see additional game info), but challenge the athletes to try out the higher levels of the exercises or, if an exercise does not have levels, to try and improve their time, distance or the number of exercises performed in a certain amount of time. 

4

The athletes change groups after a certain amount of time, until they have trained the three different types of sports. 

5

After the training sessions, it’s time for the big tournament. Create a special atmosphere by hanging up flags, making a podium, using a scoreboard, announcing the performances, ... 

6

Divide the athletes into different teams and ask every team to appoint a champion for each exercise. Make sure that each athlete is a champion at least once during the tournament. 

7

When a team wins an exercise, give them a point. You can e.g. also give points for fair play. 

8

The team with the most points is Olympic champion and wins the tournament!
