Pick-up the Popsicle Sticks

I. Learning Objective
The aim of this game is to make the teams coordinated with each other by:
 Assessing the directions of colored popsicle sticks as part of strategy;
 Communicating by developing their assisting and listening skills
throughout the game; and
 To be able to grasp the navigations of the team members.

II. Instruction and Activity Proper

1. All the participants involved in the game must be in the classroom. The
colored popsicle sticks are spread on the table as the students begin to play.
2. The class will be divided into two groups. Each group will select five
representatives to play the game.
3. In five representatives, they will choose a member to be blindfolded. The
blindfolded player's opponents should be positioned on both sides of the
table with their backs turned three steps apart.
4. The facilitator will tell what color the blindfolded players need to collect. Once
they heard the "GO" signal, only then will they face off and go to the table to
collect the popsicle sticks.
5. The remaining 4 members will help their blindfolded member navigate
directions for the needed colored popsicle sticks.
6. Each collected colored popsicle stick is equivalent to one point. Minus points
shall be given to the group if their blindfolded member picks up the wrong
color.
7. Whoever group earns more points will be declared the winner.
