Need to get a message about the enemy across the country to the general - no other means available. Each member of the team to carry a coded message
and a loaded backpack as a relay. Each member to swap stick and backpack on change over. On last leg of relay all members to run back to beginning, sit and
decode the message (code having been given at the beginning - e.g. simple reverse alphabet code written on paddlepop stick in texta). Alternative to message stick, just swap back packs and Chinese whispers message passed by telling next
person the message with last member telling leader the message. Example of messages to write in reverse alpha on stick or to pass by Chinese whispers 1. The enemy is advancing from the south with red paint. 2. The enemy is retreating to the north leaving yellow flour behind. 3. The enemy is coming over the last mountain in the east with black tanks. 4. The enemy is going home to the west and taking all
