Setup and Equipment:

Guidelines: Teams line up behind the cone of their color team for directions

Round One: Over Under Relay

The object is to be the first team to cross the finish line.
Teams members line up in a line facing the finish line. Put a little space between them each other, so they can pass a ball behind each other down the line.
The first person on each team raises the ball above their head.
Leader says, “Go”
The starting person on each team passes the ball between their legs, the person behind then raises the ball above their head and the over/under pattern continues until the last person gets it.
When the ball gets to the last person in the line, that person runs all the way back up to the front, which will move the line forward. The pattern of over/under passing continues until all of the teams cross the finish line at the opposite end.
Or you can see how many turns they can get in 3 minutes.

The Most Fun Wins!
Round Two: Boulder Passing (medicine ball)

Teams stand in a line next to each other.
Leave enough room for side to side passing:
The ball again starts in the front, but this time the ball will be pass from side to side.
When the ball gets to the last person in the line, that person runs all the way back up to the front, where the pattern of side to side passing continues until all of the teams cross the finish line.

Running Relay

Break the four teams in half and line up one half in front of the starting spots and the other half behind the cones about 15 – 20 yards away.
Each team has their color team playground ball.

Guidelines:

The first person on each team has a ball. On the signal the first person on each team runs to the opposite end carrying the ball, then hands it to the next person in line, then goes to the end of the line.
Continue until everyone is back to the starting position.
Most fun wins!

Partner Ball Relays:

Break the four teams in half and line up one half in front of the starting spots and the other half behind the cones about 15 – 20 yards away.
The first two people on each team step stand behind their spots at one end, facing the rest of their team, standing behind the cone at the other end. If there is an odd number of people, teams may try to use three people to move the ball, or someone can volunteer to have a second turn

Round One: Shoulders

Partners are given one ball, which they move the ball by balancing it between each other’s shoulder as they walk to the opposite end.
Try to make a pass without dropping the ball. Go to the end of the line after each turn.
Continue until everyone is back to the starting position.

Torch Relay: Carry and pass tennis balls with golf tubes.

Setup and Equipment

Six to Eight Scooters
Set small cones in a large circle near the center of the gym to make a race track.
Line up each team at each of the sides of the ‘circular “track”

Guidelines for Indy 500

This will be a race around the outside of the cones. You’ll be lining up like it’s a 400 meter relay on the track.
Break into pairs by your team’s cone. The partner can only push when traveling around the curves. The driver has to glide or make themselves move on the straightaways.
When you get back to your starting part, change places or let your other partners take a turn. Continue taking turns moving around the track.
How many laps can your team do in five, or maybe 10 minutes?

Glide Control

Two partners from each team line up at the black line in the front of the gym. One is standing, the other is sitting on the scooter.
On the teacher’s signal, the person in back leans down low and pushes their scooter partner towards the climbing wall;
When they hit the wall or calmly stop before hitting the wall, pick up the scooter and run it back to the front of the line
The scooter is handed off to the next people in line and they now go to the end of the line.

Parachute and Scooters

Setup and Equipment:

Six to eight of the three wheeled scooters.
If there are eight scooters, then each of the four teams will have two scooters.
Spread out around the parachute and do the merry-go-round by having everyone turn and skip in one direction. Then,stop and go in the opposite direction.
Six to eight people start moving under the parachute in the same directions as the parachute is moving.
Practice moving the parachute up and down.
Choose six people to get a scooter and go under the parachute and begin moving around.
Whenever the parachute changes direction, the scooters should also change direction. Start walking or skipping, then change directions and moving the parachute up and down.
Whenever the parachute stops, the scooters can spin around or move any direction they want to.
After a couple of minutes change places, so everyone gets a turn under the parachute.
