Running Relays
How to Play
Create teams of up to 4. Number the students 1 to 4.
On the command of the coach.
- ‘On Your Marks’
- ‘Get Set’
- ‘Go'
The first student, (number 1) runs around the outside of the circle back to the starting line. Then they pass over a disc/cone to the 2nd student (number 2).
The 2nd student runs around the circle and repeats the sequence of passing a disc/cone to student 3.
This continues until the last student (number 4). Once they run past the finish line the race is over.
The first team to run around the circle and past the finish line is the winning team.
Set-Up
Create a circle made of cones and domes.
The length of the track is up to you. You can create it 50 meters or more depending on the space you have available.
You can use bibs, discs, or cones as the batons that they pass to each other.
