On Monday we took a bus to Ahorn Sportpark.
The group was divided into 3 mixed teams. In the first part, the groups solved 3 puzzles/tasks. Then there was a little break and after that they solved 3 more puzzles. All of them required a lot of cooperation and the participants had to talk a lot and help each other in every possible way.
The puzzles were as follows.
- Drive a mini bike and solve certain puzzles while blindfolded.
- Walking across a board. The students had to find the right way through the board, which was a floor cloth with 64 squares on it (8×8). Only one way was right and if they made a mistake they had to start over and try to remember the right way.
- Students had to get their teammates through a giant spider web without touching the ropes it was made of.
- The students had to hold onto a bungee ladder and one of the group had to walk over the ladder to the end and jump down.
- The students stood in a straight line and had some kind of gutters and let a ball roll down the gutters one after the other and at the end the ball had to go into a bucket.
- Students had to build a tower out of wooden blocks. They had a specially made hook that they had to control with ropes and hook the blocks one by one and arrange them into a tower.
It was a ranking competition and everyone did a great job.
After this good day, everyone went home happy.
