Five Person Relay

Sep 21, 2009 No Comments by Eric Gallagher Printer Friendly Version

A good relay can go a long ways.  Here’s an idea that you can manipulate and make your own.

Person 1) spins 10 times around a giant pixie stick and then runs to person 2

Person 2) breaks open the pixie stick eats AND swallows a mouthful, then crab walking to person 3

Person 3) puts shaving cream all over their face (make rules about how much and where) and runs to person 4

Person 4) uses towel to wipe shaving cream off of person 3’s face, then skips and swings towel above head (like a lasso) to person 5

Person 5) unfolds a tarp, lays in middle, and remainder of team must drag them (in the tarp) across field

Side A and B are about 25 feet apart

Side A has persons 1, 3, and 5.  Also has tarp, shaving cream and pixie stick

Side B has persons 2 and 4.  Also has towel

Supply list:

For each team of five people you will need one of each of the following:

-giant Pixie Stix  (I found these at Sam’s Club)

-can of shaving cream (Barbasol is cheap and effective)

-towel (medium size or dish towel)

-tarp
