Team Relay Champions

A relay race is an exciting team activity where you and your teammates each take a turn to complete a part of a course. It's not just about being fast; it's about combining different skills and working together smoothly.Learning to combine movements helps your body become more coordinated and strong. Team relays also teach us about teamwork, communication, and cheering for our friends, which makes any game more fun!

This is a simple running relay where you pass an object called a baton.Get Ready: Your team lines up in a single file line. The first person holds the baton.Run!: When you hear "Go!", the first runner runs as fast as they safely can toward the next teammate in line.The Pass: As you get close, hold the baton out. Your teammate should have their hand ready and open, waiting for you. Place the baton firmly in their hand. Never throw the baton!Keep Going: Once your teammate has the baton, they start running their part of the race. The last person on the team runs across the finish line!

Here, we combine running with other body movements. Instead of a baton, you use a high-five!The Start: The first person on the team runs to a cone or a line on the floor.The Skill: At the cone, they perform a skill, like doing 5 jumping jacks or hopping on one foot 3 times.The "Pass": After completing the skill, they run to the next teammate in line and give them a high-five.Next Up: The high-five is the signal for the next person to go. They run and do the same obstacle. This continues until everyone has had a turn.
