Materiales needed

Four wooden skis, each ski should have 5 slots for participants to put their feet in.
Rope, there will be a rope where each participant can hold in order to make it easier for them to lift the board using their feet and arms.

Activity description

Stand in a line, and each put your feet in the slots on the ski. Hold the rope from the feet slot side to make it easier to lift the ski together using your feet and arms.
The goal is to move together, taking one step at a time, and compete against another team in a race. Keep all your feet in the ski slots at all times!
After the race, gather together and discuss your experience. How did you find moving as one unit? You'll see that some tasks are easier when we work as a team. Let's talk about how we can collaborate to achieve our goals more effectively. You can also use these questions:
