Team races
Over and underline up and pass the ball over then undergoing up the line the last person brings it back to the front the first team to get the first person at the start of the game to the end of the line wins!
Drop the penny-
To set this relay up start by marking off two lines a starting line and a turn-around line. Divide your players into teams. Place an egg carton (lid removed) about halfway between the two lines one for each team.
Next head to the turn-around line where you'll place a bowl containing enough pennies for each player.
The first player from each team starts the game by racing to the bowl and picking up one penny. Then they run to their team's egg carton and from waist height drop the penny into one of the carton's cups (decide in advance whether second chances are allowed if a player misses). The game is over when one team has successfully dropped a penny into each cup in their egg carton.
Mix it up-
Simple relay race but each person must move differently from everyone who came before them one runs one skips one hop and so on.
