Organisation:

The child at Position 5/6 (depending on the class), picks up the treasure as indicated by the class teacher.

On signal, the children at the starting line, runs down to the child at a position further up the line (sitting on the edge of the tyre with feet out and is looking back to see approaching runner). Once the treasure is exchanged, the passer sits in place of the child who was seated on the tire edge. When a child has received treasure, he/she must get up from the tyre, and run down and pass it to the to the child further down the line …5 to 4, etc… repeat until child at 1, puts the treasure in the treasure chest.

NB: If there is no one at position 5 or in the case of any absentees in any position, the runner-giver child has to touch the “treasure” to the ground in the tyre-centre just the same, and pick it up and pass is down the to the next child. … etc.

When all the houses have completed the treasure transfer the teacher, checks that all house have passed down the treasure (placing is not important … but passing the treasure is… in a nice way from person to person, and working together as a team). The teacher then asks,

Did you help each other to pass the treasure ?

Did you enjoy working with your friends ?

Did the the blues pass the treasure… the reds… the yellows… the greens… then everybody Hip Hip !! Hurray !

Now are you all ready to pass the next treasure ? You may go back to your place when I say my magic word … "GO".

Thus on 'GO' children run back to their original position, and helpers give child at position 6 another treasure… repeat until all treasures have been passed.

Directions:

Remind children what they have to do, esp., if absent child remind that empty tire has to be "touched"

Encourage the children to have FUN!

v Is every body in place - check that kids are sitting on edge of tire.

v Are you ready to pass the “Treasure” down the line

v … GO !

In the case of a class of 21.

There will be three teams that have the child at position 6 having to touch the tire at Position 5, and run the extra leg, down to position 4.

In the case of absentees: Empty tire is sign that child as though child is there, and has to be touched by child before her/him.
