Crack the code
General (by organization)
- Participants – min. 6 / max. 12
- Dimension – Between starting place runners and hoops: 6 meters
Material
- Bucket 2x
- Ball (small) 2x
- Ribbon 2x
- Hoop 8x
- Cap 12x (number of participants)
Organization
2 children sit on the yellow caps with both a leaf with the same code drawn or written on it.
The other children are divided into 2 teams about the other dots.
On both teams there is a pawn, ball, ribbon and cap.
Points of interest
Have some codes prepared in advance to use

As a team, try to crack the code ASAP!
The first child on each team runs to the hoops with an object (for example, the ball).
Then the child runs back and the next may run with an object to the hoops (for example, the bucket).
Until all items are in a hoop.
The child who placed the fourth item in the hoop must listen to the child on the yellow dot, as he or she tells how many items are in the right place (e.g., 1 right).
The child runs back to his team and communicates that there is 1 object in the correct hoop, but which one it is, you don’t know.
The next child runs to the hoops without an object, but is allowed 2 objects to swap places.
Then the child at the yellow cap says how many are right (for example, 2 right).
It goes on like this all the time until one team has the correct sequence.
Then other children are allowed on the yellow dots with a new code.
Simpler: Say which object is in the right place instead of just saying how many objects are right.
