Orienteering 8

WEB COPY ©EVEQUE Eight hoops should be set around the perimeter of the area and the other sixteen matching shapes from each team are placed with two in each hoop. Therefore, if four teams are taking part there will be two different shapes of the four colours in each hoop. The first competitors of each team are handed a controller's shape in the team colour and they set off to find the matching shape. If the wrong shape is brought back the competitor is sent back to replace it where it was found and to find the correct shape to make the pair. As each young athlete successfully completes the pairing the next team member is sent out with a different controller’s shape. The team has finished when all sixteen shapes have been returned to the controller in pairs. The teams should be encouraged to remember where they have already collected shapes from to save time. Tipping-off your team is permitted but each member must stay at the base unless it is his or her turn to search.
