Preparation

Print out the problems for each team on different coloured paper (depending on the number of participants). The tasks are in the attached file.

The first task for each team is rolled up into an arrow (the nakaraya can be taped) and hidden. Important! Children should not find out where they are hidden before the game starts.

A place is also chosen for the second task.

After the second task, tears from the 4 beads are placed on the path to the third task, and the fourth task is also rolled into an arrow and hidden in a place of your choice.

It is nice to have the game in a park where archery is allowed and comfortable.

Progress of the game

Each participant draws a candy (the candies are 4 different colors). according to the color they are divided into teams. It is also possible to play with 3 teams.

From the beginning the game is not a competition! Point where to find the first arrow. When all teams reach the last arrow there will be a relay race. Line up the teams in 4 columns so that the first one to run is in front. The 4 flags in the teams' colours are placed at a set distance. The leader shoots the first arrow. Observe which are the two closest flags to where the arrow is standing. These are the colours of the teams that will have to fight for it. The first participants from the columns of these two teams compete to take the arrow. To make it fairer it is a good idea to change flags as the game progresses.

The team that most often manages to take the arrow is the winner.

Note

The shooting place must be chosen very carefully so that there is no danger from the arrows. The terrain should also be such that the arrows are easily visible, free of bushes and tall grass. If there is a danger of someone entering the field where the bow is to be shot, it is most unsafe to surround with bands and only shoot when it is certain that no person is near.
