Play idea: In all directions with Stapelstein®

Concentration, Agility, and Communication

Anleitung

All participating children stand in a line one behind the other. At the end of the line - behind the last child - all Stapelstein® elements are stacked. The child closest to the elements takes the top element from the tower and calls out a command like "over the top." The element should now be passed over the heads of all the children to the front. Once the element has reached the front, it is placed down and the last child comes to the very front of the line. Now the last child in the line begins again, takes the next element, and calls out a command to transport the Original to the front.

Varianten

Other commands can be:

- "underneath" – the element is passed under the spread legs.
- "left past" – the element is passed to the right of the body.
- Additional command "one hand" – the element may only be gripped and passed with one hand.
- Additional command "both hands" – the element may only be gripped and passed with both hands.

Attention, hold on!

In the element that is passed from the back, you place an object that must not fall out, such as a ball, a bag, an Easter egg, etc.

Outdoor water fun

A perfect summer game variant: You can also fill the element that is passed from the back with water. At the front, you place an empty bucket and at the back a watering can filled with water. The child closest to the watering can fills a Original with it and passes the element to the other children, where it is passed over the heads. At the other end of the line, the water is poured into the bucket. The last child now runs to the front end of the line and the back child fills the next Original with the watering can. This sequence repeats as often as necessary until the bucket is full. Then the child closest to the bucket runs with it to the other end of the line, refills the watering can, and the game continues – perhaps even until no water is left.

Race

Form two teams and compete against each other. The game leader calls commands for both teams. Which team has rebuilt its tower in the front the fastest?
