Relay Lock Race

Goals:

• Working together in pairs
• Communication
• Strategizing
• Creative Thinking

Explanation and Setup:

• ​Divide the group into two teams and have each person select a partner.
• Partners stand back-to-back and lock arms by the elbows while holding their own stomach with their hands.
• The coach gives the instruction to get from one location to another.

• Don't give them specific instructions on how to get to the finish line, other than they can't let go of their stomachs.  This causes creativity and laughter.
• Go a second time but this time let individuals choose any partner from their relay "team." See what they decide to do differently the second time around.

Objective:

• Find the fastest way to complete the course staying within the given guidelines.

​Equipment:

• None
