Questions/instructions:
In this activity you’re going to work together as a team.
Imagine that your sports team has been chosen to go to national champs. You need to raise lots of money. You decide to organise a car wash on Saturday mornings in a car park by a busy road. Here is a plan of the car park.
Show car park mat, cars, picture cards and other equipment.

Here is some of the equipment you need for cleaning the cars. If there’s anything else you decide you need, you can draw or write it on these post-it notes.
Hand out equipment (not answer sheet).
At any one time you think there will be five to ten cars to
wash so you need to work out a good system. There are different tasks to do. Everyone in your team needs to know what they will do. Use the plan, the toy cars, the equipment and the cards to work out your system. Begin by talking about your system and how it will work. When you’ve finished doing that, let me know.
Allow time.
Now you are to make a plan which shows and explains exactly how your system works for cleaning cars.

Draw your system on the answer sheet. Write labels or captions that explain how it works, and what each person does. When your plan is ready, tell me. Then I’ll ask you to describe it to me.

Hand out answer sheet and instruction card.
Allow time for students to develop their plan.
Now describe your system to me.
