Laundry Symbols Relay Race

Thanks very much to Lyn, who posted this game to the Guiding Mailing List.

For more information on laundry symbols, you can visit http://www.textileaffairs.com/lguide.htm

Equipment:

Large piece of light cardboard with a grid and instructions such as hang to dry - one per team
A set per team of small cards or pieces of paper showing each symbol
1 straw per Guide.

Place the instruction grids at one end of the room. Have the girls line up at the other end with the cards. In relay fashion they have to blow the card on the floor from a start line, across the room and onto the appropriate square. The last girl can arrange them with the coaching of her team-mates. Hint - try sucking on the straw and holding the card that way.

OR: The girls line up in relay fashion. They have the grid with washing instructions at the back of their team. The symbol cards are in a pile across the room. Mark the start and finish of the race with a piece of masking tape. In relay fashion the girls run with their straw to the symbol cards. They have to blow one across the floor to the teams line. The next girl runs of to the pile while the girls try to match the symbols with the instructions.
