UNDERWATER GAME:
“Adaptations”
By: Russell, Max, Dac Lan, KhaVy, Haley, and Ana
HOW TO PLAY:
- There are four goals and four teams which are wearing fins on each side of the pool.
- All of the teams will be split evenly and will each have one goal.
- All goals are evenly sized.
- There will be water dodge balls in the middle of the pool, and coins are scattered underwater.
- There will also be buckets with weights inside of them to keep them underwater.
- Lastly, there will be rings which will have a team’s water polo ball. A water polo ball worth 20 goals while a normal ball is only worth 1 goal.
- There will be teammates who have different jobs as well depending on your team's strategy, such as some will focus on getting as many coins as possible. Others might focus on scoring points through rings or goals. Some might protect their ring and goal from other teams.
- The objective of the game is to get as many points as possible in the given amount of time (10 minutes). In that time, you must first pick up all the coins inside the pool and put them in your bucket which is underwater. After, you must take the normal balls and try to shoot them into the other team’s goals. When there is only one minute left, a whistle will blow and you can take your water polo ball, and score it in another team’s empty ring. This will score you 20 points. When time is up, your team will grab your bucket and count all the coins you have collected, as well as count up all the points you have scored in goals or or ring. The team with the most points wins and get one point.
- After that round, you rotate in clockwise and start over. This cycle will repeat until you have ended up back in the same spot as you were before. The team with the most rounds won at the end is the winner of the game.
