Sponge Relay

Split group into two teams, with two buckets and one sponge each.

 

Start the teams in a line behind a full bucket of water and a sponge. 5-10 metres away place their other empty bucket. 

Aim is to fill the sponge with water from their bucket, run with it to the empty bucket, and wring it out. They then run back and tag the next person in line to go. 

Winner is the team with the most water when the whistle goes, or the first team to fill to a determined line. 

 

Progression:

- players with sponge can be blindfolded.

- players with sponge can only travel in a certain way, ie. running backward, side step etc. 

- players have to do a certain activity before emptying their sponge, ie. star jumps
