112006 - Training of basic skills in apparatus parcours: The Gold Seeker Game
For all types of sports, children need all kinds of conditioning and coordination skills (strength, endurance, speed, dexterity, balance, linking skills, etc.) and - today more than ever - social skills. All of these basic motor skills can be trained with the help of small games or circuit training. What if you could train with children without them even realizing, they were doing endurance training? If the task is to bring gold found in the jungle to the gold mining town and protect themselves from the dangerous monkeys in the process, the children develop unexpected mobility and activity on the one hand, and on the other hand, even children you wouldn't expect suddenly develop very strong social skills and a sense of responsibility for others.
The tasks set are always and without exception aimed at the whole group fulfilling a task and only the whole group can win - or sometimes lose. Children who have experienced such a lesson will tell their friends about it and bring it to the next lesson! But they won't be talking about endurance training, strength training or coordination training, but about pieces of gold, coconuts, mountain gorges and lianas.
