Air Quality Skittles Game
(KS1 or KS2 appropriate)
Time required: 20 mins Equipment needed: Table or shelf unit. 15 plastic bottles decorated with the pictures (see below) of the various es of transport on the front and the appropriate score on the back. 2 beanbags. Clipboard with score sheet and pen True/false statements – listed below. Four pieces of card, two with TRUE printed on and two with FALSE on (see below). Number of pupils needed: Two teams of any number of pupils. Aim: To inform children about the benefits of active travel and how plants are good for keeping our air clean. Objectives: To get pupils thinking about how different modes of transport produce different levels of air pollution and how travelling actively is good for our health and the environment. Instructions: Place the bottles on table or shelves as a target for the children. Discuss with the children which modes of transport produce the least and which produce the most air pollution. Explain the scoring system – less polluting modes of transport score more points. Divide children into two teams and give each team a TRUE and a FALSE card. Position the teams in two parallel queues about 2-3m away from the bottles. Give the first person in each team a bean bag. Each statement is read out to the children and the teams are asked to decide whether they believe them to be true or false and to hold up the appropriate sign when they have made their decision. When teams get the answer correct they get the chance to win points as the person in front of the queue can then throw a bean bag to try to hit bottles worth the highest points. The team members at the front then hand the bean bags to the next person in the line and move to the back of the queue. The scores are recorded on a sheet after each throw and the winning team presented with a trophy.
