A fun series of 5 relay games in Athletics Every year I use this game series in my Athletics unit from grades 2-5. The students thoroughly enjoy it and are super active throughout the entire series . In the video below you can see 5 different versions of the game that build in complexity at each stage. In the 5th stage of the game, I handed ownership over to the students to create an additional level of difficulty. you'll see exactly how this was done as you watch the video. Multiple skills are being worked on in these activities, so I encourage you to try it out with your students. I promise you that they will love it. If you come up with further modifications to these games, please let me know as I would love to try them out. Thanks. Hope you enjoy it!!

What's great is that you can make more squares so that there are fewer players on each team. This decreases the rest time each student can take (can be very physically demanding)!!! Can even add whistle to change directions. Finally, this can be done in most other sports - soccer/basketball/hockey dribbling. Love it and thanks for sharing!!!
