GRAND PRIX

Lay out a grand prix track (circle or oval of hoops approx 20 m around).

Arrange students into teams of 2 or 3 and have them stand in the 'pits' (hoops).

On the go signal, the first student from each team runs a lap of the track, tags the second student, and so on.

During the run, call out a number of different challenges to those currently on the track.

Some examples are:
Out of petrol: Students reduce speed to a slow walk until they are told their tanks have been refilled.
Flat tyre: Students get down on all fours but lift one 'tyre' (arm or leg) in the air to be fixed. Once you say it's fixed, they are free to keep running.
Oil spill: Students spin around twice whilst running.
Car Crash: Students jog on the spot until told their car has been repaired.

EQUIPMENT: Hoops/cones, sashes.

AREA REQUIRED: Basketball court or similar sized area.
