Game Description:
A fun relay
Objective:
Get the ball to the leader in the least number of throws.
Game Rules:
1 adult for every 2 children. 4 cones are set up 10' apart with 1 ball on each cone. Starting at the closest cone, partners will relay each ball to the leader in the least number of throws as possible.
Saftey Considerations:
Ensure there is adequate space so children from other pairs aren't running into each other, or throwing balls at each other.
Adaptations (optional):
No leaders (have players place ball in bucket). Sport specific equipment.
Progression (optional):
Larger distances.
Instead of placing balls at each cone, have leader throw ball to children (they are only able to start the relay/move to the next cone when they catch the ball).
