Approach 1.1: The Chaos Game

The Chaos Game is popular in youth work in German-speaking countries because it combines elements such as movement, team spirit, and creativity.

How the game works: The players are divided into several groups of 4-5 people. At the beginning of the game, they have the task of making a game piece from at least 3 objects they have found. Once this is on the playing field, they can roll the dice. The numbers 1 to 40 are hidden on small stickers in a predefined area (alternatively, depending on the desired duration of the game, the numbers 1 to 30 or 1 to 50 can also be hidden. The level of difficulty can be influenced by the choice of hiding places). There are 40 squares on the game board. The players have the task of finding the number that is on their current square. Once they have found the number, they must tell the jury where it is hidden. This statement is checked against a list of hiding places. If the statement is correct, the players are given a task that they must complete in order to be allowed to roll the dice again. These tasks are usually creative tasks, such as performing a short play, building a human pyramid, writing a poem on a specific topic, or drawing a portrait of the jury. The tasks could be modified in physical education classes so that they mainly promote physical activity. For example, students could be asked to fetch five orange objects from the other end of the sports field, perform a choreographed dance, or do a handstand. They could also be sent to stations where they have to practice on the high bar or do the long jump, for example.

The group that reaches the goal first wins.

This approach could very easily be implemented in a similar way, but here too the question arises as to how the exercises could be monitored.
