These are awesome, thanks for sharing Jakob! For those without benches you can also just use a 2x6 or 1x6 piece of lumber, I would recommend to sand it down and if you want to go an extra mile paint it with some poly so nobody gets a splinter

Hi Jakob, These are great! I've been teaching PE for 35 years and am always looking for new team building activities. Never seen the Mat moving games before. I loved your explaination at the end regarding teaching teamwork.

I'm teaching the theme of teamwork this week to Kindy students for PE in Korea. Gonna try a few of these activities. Thank you for the suggestions and lesson at the end on what values we can learn through teamwork.

Great Video, Very useful. Where did you order the matts from? And if you don't have matts is there another material you can use to do the same team building activity?

Gee I don’t know how happy kids would be if Starting over was based on 1 person

I'm not sure but maybe you should pay attention to the way they grab the bench. It's seem for me dangerous for their lower back when they curve it and put a charge like that 😊 sorry for my English, I'm from Belgium

Where did you order these benches from? Your videos are awesome
