How-To

  1. Form 2 teams of 4; a red team and a blue team.

  3. On the word ‘GO’, the leaders run to the hoops and place a coloured bean bag in one of the hoops.
  4. The leaders return to their team and tag the next runner who races to the hoops and place their bean bag in another hoop.
  5. This continues in a relay format until one team has 3 coloured bean bags in a row
