Overview

Standing on Chairs Relay Race is an exciting and challenging team activity where players must navigate from a starting line to a finish line and back, all while standing only on chairs. Teams are given one extra chair per team member to aid in their movement.

Setting Up

  1. Designate the Course: Create a clear starting line and finish line, ensuring that there is ample space for teams to maneuver between them.

  3. Relay Race:
    • As the first player reaches the finish line, they tag the next player in their team, who then repeats the process of moving to the finish line and back.
    • Players must stand on chairs at all times and cannot touch the ground.
    • If a player falls off a chair or touches the ground, they must return to the starting line and begin again.
  4. Completing the Race:
