About This Event

To play this game, you will need to divide the group into teams (the number of teams depends on the area you have available and group size).

You will need some equipment for this game. Place empty bowls on one side of the room and bowls full of dried peas on the other side. Make sure there is an equal number of peas in each bowl. Give each team member a straw.

The aim of the game is for each team to transport a small pile of dried peas from a bowl on one side of the room to another bowl on the other side, using only their straw. They do this by sucking through the straw so the pea stays fixed to the end of the straw. If they drop the pea they must pick it up again using the straw.

The winning team is the one that transports all the peas first.

Game Debrief

You can conclude this game with a devotion to our tendency to want to hold onto material things and the costs & difficulties involved with that.
