Quick Overview: \u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

2 teams are tied together and race around the room, facing obstacles along the way.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Supplies You\u2019ll Need:<\/strong><\/h2>\n
    \n
  1. Pool noodles. <\/strong>Giving these to a bunch of students creates a hilarious obstacle.<\/li>\n
  2. Tables.<\/strong> The teams must crawl under them together.<\/li>\n
  3. Huge Bowling Pins.<\/strong> We made ours out of carpet tubes, but traffic cones would work just fine for this game.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

    Prep:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    Have a few volunteers ready to tie up kids and make the game run smoothly while you hype the crowd.<\/p>\n

    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.<\/p>\n

    Game Play:<\/strong><\/h2>\n

    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. \u00a0Have each team start off in a different direction, so they have to cross paths at some point in the race. Yell “GO!\u201d and watch the chaos unfold.<\/p>\n
