Introduction to HiBa in the field: playful form
Obstacle course in the terrain
The obstacle course is divided into six sectors. The first sector is assigned the number 6 and the last section the number 1. A throwing field is set up next to the obstacle course. There, throwing discs (frisbees) can be thrown at a target. The target can be a tyre lying on the ground or a tyre suspended from two paint sticks with ribbons (do not make the targets too easy, but not too difficult either). A flipchart is placed between the obstacle course and the throwing field for the evaluation.
The game works as follows: the participants throw at the targets on the throwing field. They have a maximum of six attempts. If they fail to hit a target, the participants complete a marked-out lap around the obstacle course and are then allowed six new attempts to hit the target. If a hit is scored, part or all of the obstacle course can be passed. If the hit is successful after the first attempt, all obstacles may be attempted. If the participant hits the target on the third attempt, for example, they can run through the obstacle course up to and including section three. This means that the competitor throws until the first hit (multiple hits are not possible) or, if no hits are made, an additional round must be completed as mentioned above. If the participant is successful and has passed a section or the entire obstacle course, they can then cross off the corresponding number (number of attempts until they hit the target) on the flipchart. If, under certain circumstances, the target is hit a second time with only one attempt, the entire obstacle course is available again and the participant can choose until and with which partial distance the obstacles are run in order to cross off a missing number on the flipchart. The game is over for the participants when they have ticked off the numbers 1-6 on the flipchart. The fewer throws required for a hit, the easier it is to complete the exercise. If, for example, only the number two is missing at the end, but the target has not been hit after two attempts, a running round is completed and you can then throw at the targets again. If necessary, adapt the exercise to the time conditions and finish after the first ranks if necessary.
x tyres (adjust the number of targets to the number of participants)
x colouring sticks (optional depending on the target)
x game tapes (optional depending on the target)
1 route tape
1 flipchart (evaluation prepared)
x throwing discs (frisbees)
8 fanjons
6 F-discs with pegs (numbers 1-6)
Hinbernis track in the terrain
Before each use of the HiBa terrain, the elements must be checked for their suitability and the running track must be cleaned/removed of foreign objects. Minimising the risk of injury (e.g. avenging gravel pits on the climbing wall) is the responsibility of the sports manager and has top priority.
