Equipment: String, tape or rope to mark a starting line (or use an already painted line if outside); a cone to turn around; red spots about 2cm diameter.
Space: Large enough area to be able to move from one side of the room to the other; can also play outside. If there are not enough players for teams, the races can be done individually.
Set-up: Mark a starting line with the string, tape, or rope and a turning point with the cone, for each team about 15m from the starting line (or according to the space you have). On the starting point of each team place the red spot.
Playing the Game: Divide players into teams, who stand one behind each other, behind the starting line by a red spot, facing the cone or marker opposite them. Each player in turn moves from the line around the cone and back before the next player goes. The aim of the game is for the whole team to be back together behind the starting line, sitting cross legged one behind the other with the red spot on the nose of the front player.
The relays are:
- Move on all fours using only hands and feet
- Skip
- Use only one hand and foot
- Move backwards on all fours
Variations: Include dribbling a ball using specific body parts (eg head, elbow, nose).
