Ot: Need Relay Races for 3Rd Grade Girls

[its_me_susan]

I am a Brownie leader and plan to have a low key 1st meeting with relay races to break the ice between the girls. Does anyone have any easy, fun ones that the girls might not have tried?

We will pair them up with a pair of panty hose to share & run in...

Hi there! I love the idea of using relay races to break the ice at your first Brownie meeting. Here are a few easy and fun ideas that your girls might enjoy:1. Three-Legged Race: This classic race is always a hit! Have the girls pair up and tie one of their legs together with a bandana or scarf. Then, have them race to the finish line while staying connected.2. Water Balloon Toss: This is a great game for a hot day. Have the girls pair up and stand facing each other. Give each pair a water balloon and have them toss it back and forth, taking a step back each time. The last pair with an un-popped balloon wins!3. Egg and Spoon Race: This race is a bit more challenging, but still lots of fun. Give each pair a spoon and a hard-boiled egg. Have them balance the egg on the spoon and race to the finish line without dropping it.4. Hula Hoop Relay: Have the girls stand in a line and give the first girl a hula hoop. On your mark, have her pass the hoop over her head to the next girl, who will then pass it between her legs to the next girl, and so on. The first team to get the hoop to the end of the line wins.I hope these ideas help! Have a great first meeting with your Brownies and enjoy the relay races!
