Get ready for non-stop laughter and competition with our Disc and Noodle Relay Race! This game is a fantastic way to amp up any summer party. Check out the video to see how quickly the excitement unfolds and follow the instructions below to bring the fun to your next summer gathering.
Objective: Complete the relay race by successfully carrying a disc using a pool noodle from one point to another and back.
Materials Needed:
- Pool Noodles (One Per Team)
- Lightweight Discs
- Cones or Markers (To Designate the Relay Turn-Around Point)
Setup:
1. Form Teams: Divide players into equal teams. Each team should have at least three members for a balanced relay.
2. Starting Line: Place a cone or marker to establish a starting line.
3. Turnaround Point: Set another cone about 20-30 feet away from the starting line. This will be the turnaround point for the relay.
Instructions:
1. Starting the Relay: The first player in each team starts at the starting line with a pool noodle and a disc.
2. Carrying the Disc: Players must balance the disc on a pool noodle. The challenge is to carry the disc on the noodle without using their hands to hold it in place.
3. Turnaround: When players reach the turnaround point, they must circle around the cone while still balancing the disc on the noodle.
4. Handoff: After circling the cone, players return to the start line and pass the disc and noodle to the next teammate. This handoff must be done without the disc falling off.
5. Continuing the Relay: The next player repeats the process, carrying the disc to the turnaround point and back.
6. Winning the Race: The first team to finish the relay with all members completing their turn without dropping the disc wins.
Rules:
- Players cannot use their hands to stabilize the disc while it's on the noodle.
- If the disc falls, the player must return to the starting line and begin their segment again.
- No running; players should maintain a quick but controlled pace to avoid dropping the disc.
Tips for Success:
- Focus on steady, balanced movements to keep the disc stable.
- Communicate clearly during handoffs to ensure smooth transitions between team members.
Enjoy your Disc and Noodle Relay and may the steadiest team win!
