INTRODUCTION TO RELAY RACES

Play in an open area

Most relay races only require a little imagination to invent.  Basic races are running, hopping, walking, etc.  In this book, I have only included the more difficult relays.  The best way to complete a relay race is to have all the players be seated and silent before they can be declared "the winners."

There are seven basic formations for relay races.  They are: file formation with the leader up front, file formation--one goal, double file formation, shuttle formation, circle formation, file formation--last player seated runs.
