What to do

Find a bridge where you can see the river or stream from both sides

Get everyone to find a stick or twig

On the call of 3, everyone should drop their stick into the water from the upstream side of the bridge

Move to the other side of the bridge

Whose stick emerges first?

Things to think about

  • Did you see anything in the river whilst you were playing?
  • How does being next to a river make you feel? Why do you think this is?
