Quick Overview:
2 teams are tied together and race around the room, facing obstacles along the way.
Supplies You’ll Need:
- Pool noodles. Giving these to a bunch of students creates a hilarious obstacle.
- Tables. The teams must crawl under them together.
- Huge Bowling Pins. We made ours out of carpet tubes, but traffic cones would work just fine for this game.
Prep:
Have a few volunteers ready to tie up kids and make the game run smoothly while you hype the crowd.
Set up your obstacle course (we have drawn a beautiful picture of our course to give you an idea). But be creative, and make up your own obstacles if you want.
Game Play:
Choose two teams of about 5 students and have each team stand very close to each other. Then, tie them together around their waists with some rope. Have each team start off in a different direction, so they have to cross paths at some point in the race. Yell “GO!” and watch the chaos unfold.
