No equipment is needed, just excitement and plenty of space to move safely. Perfect for an energetic group activity that brings out the inner animal in everyone!
Objective:
Be the first team to have all players complete the relay.
Objective:
None
Game Setup:
- Divide the players into teams. Each team lines up behind a starting line that you designate.
- Designate a turnaround point at the other end of the playing area.
How to Play:
- On the “go” signal, the first player in each team performs the relay and returns to the starting line. Then the next player goes.
- The team must complete the relay based on the animal relay you have selected.
Here are some options:- Chimp Relay: Players grab their ankles with their hands, walk like a chimp, and make chimp noises as they move to the turnaround point and back.
- Caterpillar Relay: The entire team sits on the floor with legs extended, and each player holds onto the ankles of the person behind them. The team moves forward together to the turnaround point and back.
- Leap Frog Relay: The last person in line hops over all the other players to become the new first person in line. This continues until the team reaches the turnaround point and returns.
Pro Tips:
- Make sure the playing area is large enough for all teams to safely move without collisions.
- For the Leap Frog Relay, remind players to hop gently over others to avoid injuries.
- For the Caterpillar Relay, ensure that players move slowly and carefully to prevent accidental falls.
- Keep an eye on the Chimp Relay to ensure that players holding their ankles don’t trip over their own feet.
