Global Goal 6: Clean Water & Sanitation
by Becca Todd, United Kingdom
Description
Players represent clean water. When players put on a bib, they become polluted. Navigate the obstacles (filters) to reach the goal (a thirsty mouth) and purify the water.Make two routes – one clear and one filled with obstacles – down to the goal
All players take turns and first base is the pile of bibs and pollution.
Now the players have to choose between the two routes.
If players choose the obstacle route they can score.
If players choose the clear route they can’t score. Nobody likes to drink polluted water.
More play

Use defenders instead of cones as the “filter”.

Players: This game could be run with numbers of players doing the drill, as long as there are enough goals so that they don’t get bored waiting in a queue.
Area: Flexible depending on how large the “filter” cone area are going to be.
-
A ball for each player.
Coloured bibs for the “Pollution”.
Cones, obstacles, goal.
