Game Description:
Try this silly relay race!
Objective:
Jump as fast as you can to the other side while you have a ball in-between your legs.
Game Rules:
Mark out cones at the other side of the playing area. Separate children into lines of 3-4. Give the first child from each line a ball. On go, the first child from each line must jump with the ball in between their legs to the cone and back. Once they have gone, they must high five the next person in line and then go to the back of the line.
Tip: If you place colourful hoops across from each other it will make it easier for you to manage the game and separate the children into lines.
Saftey Considerations:
Make sure shoes are tied.
Adaptations (optional):
For younger groups give them a plush ball and for older groups give them a harder ball.
If you have a small group you can make it a pogo ball race from one side to the other.
