Objective

To be the first team to have all members successfully transfer a pea from one end of the play area to the other using only a straw.

Setup

1. Teams: Divide the players into 4 equal teams.
2. Play Area: Mark a starting line at one end and place a bowl of peas (or alternative small items) at the other end.
3. Straws: Provide each player with a straw.

Game Rules

1. Starting Position: All teams line up at the starting line.
2. Gameplay:
   • The first player from each team runs to the bowl at the opposite end.
   • They must pick up a pea by sucking it onto the end of the straw.
   • Once they have a pea, they run back to their team, keeping the pea on the straw.
   • If the pea falls off, the player must stop, pick it up again using the straw, and continue.
3. Tagging:
   • Upon reaching the starting line, the player tags the next teammate who then repeats the process.
4. Winning:
   • The first team to have all members successfully bring a pea back wins.

Tips for Success

• Keep the suction steady to prevent the pea from falling.
• Practice running with the pea on the straw before the game starts.
• Encourage teamwork and strategy discussion within teams.

Required Items

• Bowl of peas (or alternative small items)
• Straws (one per player)

Safety Notes

• Ensure the play area is clear of obstacles to prevent tripping.
• Supervise younger players to avoid choking hazards with small items.
