BS Toys - Lighthouse Relay

The Lighthouse Relay is a thrilling, fast-paced game that combines problem-solving with physical activity. The lighthouse has fallen over, and it's up to the players to race against time to collect the scattered parts and rebuild it before it topples again! Players or teams are assigned a colour and must quickly gather the corresponding pieces to rebuild their lighthouse from the largest to the smallest. The challenge lies not only in building the lighthouse but in doing so as quickly and accurately as possible. This game can be played individually or in teams, and for added excitement, the relay-style format allows for even more dynamic gameplay as players switch off at the starting point.

Educational Benefits:

• Speed and Agility: Encourages children to develop quick thinking and speed through physical activity.
• Balance and Coordination: The race to build the lighthouse helps improve balance and fine motor skills.
• Teamwork: Played in teams, the game fosters communication and collaboration among children.
• Problem Solving: Children must think critically to figure out how to build the lighthouse in the correct order.

Classroom Ideas:

• Team Building: Use the game as a group activity where children take turns and communicate to strategise the fastest and most efficient way to build the lighthouse.
• Colour Recognition: Enhance colour recognition and sorting skills by assigning specific colours to each player and focusing on how quickly they can identify and collect the right pieces.
• Relay Races: Create time-limited relay challenges where teams must rebuild the lighthouse in record time, encouraging teamwork and healthy competition.
• Math Skills: Incorporate counting and sequencing by having children count the number of pieces or discuss the order in which the pieces should be placed.
