  2. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com • Game Materials • a board at least 6 inches wide and of a length of three feet that is strong enough to be used for a platform on which a student may stand. • two bricks, cinder blocks, or solid wooded blocks that the board can be placed upon so that someone can place there hands beneath the board to raise it. • Blindfold www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com

  3. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Game Play Place the board on a couple of bricks or something that raises up the ends so that two leaders can place their hands beneath the board and raise it. Blindfold a volunteer and have them step on the platform. A third leader must stand in front of the volunteer so that the volunteer can place their hands on the shoulders of this leader to keep their balance. www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com

  4. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Tell the volunteer that you will raise them up no higher than waist level and then they will be asked to jump from the platform using the leader as a spotter to maintain their balance. (In actuality, the board only leaves the ground a few inches.) The leader in front of the volunteer slowly squats making the volunteer believe they are being raised whereas in actuality they haven’t. www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com

  5. www.CreativeYouthIdeas.com Tell the volunteer to jump, assuring them that they will not be hurt. They will be jumping only a few inches but expect to fall a few feet. The feeling is eerie, and they are quite surprised. They will, of course, be falling into the waiting arms of the group. www.CreativeScavengerHunts.com

The advantage of going through a book and looking at one man's story is that we see not only the teaching but the example. It becomes much more real! -> Tell me about “Whale of a Tale” www.creativeyouthideas.com/resources/order5.html
