The object of the activity is for all of the team members to get across the taped 20 foot “Toxic Swamp” using only the invisible “Magic Shoes.”

The following rules apply:

  1. There is only one pair of shoes.
  2. Both shoes may be worn by only one person at a time.
  3. A person may only wear the shoes for one trip in one direction across the Toxic Swamp.
  4. The Magic Shoes may not be tossed across the Toxic Swamp to another team member.
