Game Description:
A great and easy relay game!
Objective:
Be the first team to have each member run to the end and back with their bean bag.
Game Rules:
Sort group into teams. One child from each team will start by balancing a bean bag on a designated part of their body (ex. head). Each of these children will move as quickly as possible to the other end of the race area and back without letting the bean bag fall off. The first team to successfully have each child go to the end and back wins.If the bean bag falls or they have to stabilize it with their hand, that child has to start over again. Have children sit down behind their team when they are done.
Progression (optional):
To make this more difficult, have the kids practice the different fundamental movement skills by having them hop, skip, or gallop instead or run.
