Teams Across
Time Allowance: 20 Minutes
Equipment Needed: An open field, preferably a football field or large yard.
Steps
1. Divide the group into teams and instruct the participants that the task they must accomplish is for each team to move across the field as quickly as possible, making as few trips as possible -- they must get the entire team across the field or gym following these rules.
2. A minimum of one team member’s entire body must be off the ground at all times.
3. The entire group or team must be connected at all times.
4. No one is allowed to run.
5. If the person or persons being carried touch the ground at all or the team members become disconnected, then the entire team is disqualified.
6. Note: this activity is great for large numbers of participants, fifteen to twenty people per team make for great competition and creativity among members.
