Instructions :
If all materials have been assembled, spread the fish across the floor. Give a fishing rod to one member from each team. Advise them that a timer will count down from 2 minutes, and in that time each team must collect as many fish as they can. After each fish is caught, students pass the fishing rod on to their next teammate, so that each student has a chance at catching fish. The process is repeated if their is time remaining in the 2
minute allocation. After 2 minutes are up count how many fish each team has caught, and play the next round if time permits. The winning team is the team that catches the most fish.
