Students must be buddied. One runs the course, while the other "supervises". The job of the supervising buddy is the return equipment that may be toppled, and to ensure their buddy is following the MANY rules.
Here is the rules to Mission Impossible:
- going from obstacle to obstacle, students MUST touch a line on the floor somehow.
- they CANNOT touch anything metal
- there is a certain color which they are not allowed to touch
- the hardest rule I thought to follow was NO TALKING!!! But, the students are doing amazing with this rule.
- they cannot make any noise what so ever. There are many bells hanging on obstacles, you cannot touch them!
- If you touch obstacles, or knock down balls, sticks, pylons etc, you have to start back from the beginning.
- The goal is to get through the entire course and capture the jewel at the center!
We've only had one gym class so far to try out the course, but with the limited time already, I've noticed so many amazing things with this activity. Watching students study the obstacles, and make a plan of attack in their heads is truly amazing. Also their resiliency, and refusal to give up is simply incredible. You'd think being sent back to the beginning MANY times would get frustrating, but instead the students are taking it on as a challenge and trying to surpass their own expectations. I am so glad we have two more weeks of this activity.
