only carry one person. Since you don't want to be eaten by sharks, you must try to
push the others into the water (the mat field around the soft floor).
However, you can never stand up, otherwise you will immediately slip and
fall into the water. Once a pirate has fallen into the water (e.g., if any part of their
body touches the mat field), it is impossible for them to get back onto the raft.
However, the pirates who have fallen in can try to cling to the raft and pull the others
on the raft into the water as well. Try to be the last one left on the raft without falling
into the water.
Practical tip: The teacher should be very attentive, as there is a high risk of
uncontrolled collisions. They must ensure that no student stands up or pushes their
classmates off the mat using inappropriate physical force. They should have the
option of freezing the situation. Blind students should also have a guardian angel
function to avoid violent collisions and prevent those students from being pushed or
pulled from different sides at the same time.
Shoulders and my mat. Sit opposite your partner on a mat in a heel seat.
Hold each other's forearms, upper arms, or shoulders. When you hear an acoustic
signal, start wrestling with each other. Try to push, shove, or pull your partner onto
the floor with their back.
Variation: Try to push your opponent off the mat so that a part of their body
touches the floor (use gym mats rather than thick mats such as soft flooring).
