Caterpillar Race
Description
Assemble a start and finish line, and seat participants in straight lines of four or more.
Each participant must reach back and hold the feet of the participant behind them.
On the Coach's signal, participants must work as a team to move forward like a ‘Caterpillar’, racing other teams towards the finish line.
Equipment
- 10 x cones
Coaching Outcome
Participants develop their teamwork in this fun and competitive activation game.
Change It
- Alter the space between the start and finish lines so that participants have further to move.
- Ask the teams to change direction or move backwards.
- Set a time limit and see how far each team can move down the field.
Check for Understanding
- What do we need to do to be the fastest ‘Caterpillar’?
- What skill do we need to use so that our teammates know when to move?
