-Setting Up:

  • Establish a starting line and a finish line. These lines could be near each end of the room, or the route could constitute a lap around the room (going around the room is more difficult because players have to go around each other to pass).

-Instructions:

  • Each pair of players must carry a ball between them from the start of the race to the end. If they drop the ball, they must return to the starting line and begin again.

  • Here are some ways of holding the ball:

    • Players both hold a ball with both hands.

    • Players squeeze a ball together between their backs.

    • Players squeeze a ball together between their hips (no hands allowed on the ball).

    • Players squeeze a ball together between their knees (no hands allowed on the ball).

-Questions & Notes:

  • Triple Races: Played the same as Twin Races except that it is done in groups of three (or more).
