Parcours 8 - The Construction Crew

The Construction Crew Parcours

Theme: Building a City. Rule: No one works alone. All obstacles require at least 2 people. Psychomotor Approach: Sociomotorik. Moving in relation to others.

1. Equipment List

• Sommerski (The Crane)
• Laufendes A (The Heavy Loader)
• Teamspiel Holzbahn (The Pipeline)
• Balance-Board Duo (The Scaffold)

2. The Task: “Material Transport”

Objective: Transport a “fragile cargo” (e.g., a tennis ball or water cup) from Start to Finish without dropping it. The cargo must be passed between stations.

1. Stage 1: The Heavy Loader (Laufendes A)

   • Team: 5 Children (1 Pilot, 4 Pullers).
   • Task: The Pilot holds the cargo. The team must navigate a curve to reach Stage 2.
   • Psychomotor Focus: Non-verbal communication (sensing the rope tension).

2. Stage 2: The Hand-Over (Pipeline)

   • Team: Entire class or remaining group.
   • Task: Connect the wooden gutters. The Pilot from Stage 1 drops the ball into the pipeline.
   • Challenge: The ball must roll continuously to Stage 3. Players must run from the back of the line to the front to extend the pipe.

3. Stage 3: The Synchronized Walk (Sommerski)

   • Team: Pair of 2.
   • Task: Catch the ball from the pipeline. Hold the ball between their foreheads (or hold a cup together) while walking on Sommerski to the finish line.
   • Psychomotor Focus: Rhythm synchronization. If they walk out of sync, the cargo drops.

4. Stage 4: The Final Check (Balance-Board Duo)

   • Team: Pair of 2.
   • Task: Stand on the board. They must hold the cargo and perform one full rotation (360 degrees) on the board without the edges touching the floor.

3. Teacher’s Intervention Guide

• Scenario: The team on the Laufendes A is arguing.
  • Intervention: “Stop. Everyone close your eyes. Only the Pilot can speak for 1 minute.” (Reduces sensory noise, forces listening).
• Scenario: The Sommerski pair keeps falling.
  • Intervention: “Call out your steps loud and clear: ‘Left, Right, Left’.” (Auditory rhythm support).
