The slimy slip and slide is created by getting a huge tarp (or slip and slide) and mixing flour, water and green food coloring on it, so it looks like slime. All the participants are on one side of the slip and slide while a number of flags/objects are on the other side. The facilitator will allow 5 minutes for the team to slip across, grab one flag, and bring it back to their side. They're trying to get as many flags back as they can, with only one person going at a time.This is a great game for the summer and it could be focused towards kids with autism. I think it would be beneficial for them to have the sensory stimulation of the slime and how it feels. Also, they would need to learn to interact with each other, because only one person can go at a time. This game will allow them to appropriately act within a group. They will have to use their social skills to work together as a team and retrieve as many flags as possible.
There are always risks when one brings out a slip and slide, so it's important to make sure only one person is on the slip and slide at once. Make sure there are no allergies to the flour/gluten.
Materials needed:
-slip and slide
-water/hose
-food coloring
-flour
-flags/objects to grab
