Equipment Includes: Numbered cones, large buckets, beanbags
2. Blindfold Beanbag Golf Challenge
Students work as partners with one person being blindfolded to complsete each hole. This requires communication and focus to ensure all students stay safe. See the video for more details and a demonstration.

3. Pipeline Team Golf Challenge
Students work in teams of 5-6 students to complete each hole using the pipeline pieces. Teams must have integrity to follow the rules. If a rule is broken, teams must start over at the hole’s beginning.
