Introduction
Welcome to Survivor Island Field Day. There are Hazards happening all around us! We will need to band together in groups of 4 in order to work as a team to deflate or escape the situations we have created that could apply to our lives. I hope your ready for the day ahead because only good team work and sportsmanship will help you achieve these tasks!
Task
The point of this day is to have students use team work and sportsmanship in real life situation in order to prevent or eliminate Hazards. Students will use their skills to as a team to make the day safe in simulated real life situations that can occur in our everyday lives. What we are looking for in these tasks is abiity to use good team work to complete the task and help one another along the way. In life working as a team is the only way to be successful in these situations and today we are going to try and prove that we can do that. Students that arent able to work as a team will stick out and have a hard time completing the task which will force everyone to work with one another and use good communication and team work.
Process
LAVA RACE
In this event a huge volcano has erupted in the tribes camp. The lava is slowly pouring in and the tribes must escape. To do this they must use the cooperative skis to keep the lava from buring their feet. This is a relay using the skis. Grades 3-5 use the skis. Grades K-2 use potato sacks.
NITRO CARRY
A plane passing overhead has accidentally dropped toxic chemicals onto the camp site. You need to use the Nitro Carry to rid your camp of the waste.
The waste consists of:
2 bean bags 2 half full water bottles 2 deck rings
This is a relay using the nitro carry. Items must be moved off the camp one at a time. Grades 2-5 only do this event.
KANGAROO RELAY
Island Kangaroos have challenged your tribe to a race. The tribe lines up in two lines, and the first two people have a gator skin ball (or some kind of ball). On the whistle the two put the ball in between their knees and hop down to the cone and back. All tribes go at once, two members at a time. All grade levels participate in this event.
JUNGLE WALK
Tribes are lost in the jungle, they need to maneuver their way out of the jungle without losing anyone. Tribes pass five hula hoops down their class line of joined hands. If someone breaks hands they are lost in the jungle forever!!
COCONUT CARRY
Again tribes are in two straight lines. The first two carry the "coconut" ("soft"ball) between their foreheads, without using their hands, down to the cones and back, and then hand off to the next two members.
TRIBE IS HUNGRY
Using bamboo poles (small pieces of PVC pipe) tribes must get their food (marbles) to from the tree to the basket trying not to drop any on the ground. Six members go at a time.
ESCAPE
The tribes have been captured by another tribe and they have tied their legs together so they must figure out a way to escape. This is a five person three legged race. (five people are connected instead of two.)
SMOKE SIGNAL
You have decided that you need help to get off the island, send up your smoke signal (7 balls on a parachute) the quickest.
FIRE DRILL
Your campfire has gotten out of control. All you have is one bucket to put out the flames. First person goes to the water source (big garbage can) and brings the bucket back to the line. The tribe passes the bucket to the end trying not to let any water spill. The last person empties the water into the bigger bucket at the end of the line, runs the empty bucket to the front fills it and starts the bucket moving again. Tribes are trying to fill their bucket up.
