Each player will individually select an item and attempt to shoot it into the correct basket (trash, recycle, compost).
Based on the given food items, develop a daily meal plan that equates to ~2000 calories.
One Team member will carry a plastic ball in a cone (representative of a torch) for 10 yards without dropping the ball. They must “pass the torch” by passing the all using the cone to their team member. Repeat until each team member has traveled 10 yards.
