Observation Race
|
|
Competitors are blindfolded and stand at the starting-line with their backs to the course. An assortment of extraneous articles is placed alongside the course at intervals, such as a wheelbarrow, a boy with a dog, a tent peg, a walking stick and so on. The handkerchiefs are removed from the competitors' eyes and they race to the winning post. The first to arrive at the winning post scores the number of points that there are competitors, the second one less and so on. At the winning post competitors stand with their backs to the course and repeat quietly (or write down), all that they have seen alongside the course. One mark is added to the previous score for each correct item, one is deducted for each item omitted, and two are deducted for each imaginary item added. Care should be taken to ensure that the contest cannot be won by a competitor by merely arriving first at the winning post. This can be arranged by placing a sufficient number of articles along the course. |
