Used during my athletics lessons to encourage pupils to work as a team and best divide up the distances. 1st team gains 3 house points/merits, 2nd team 2, 3rd team 1.
Using an athletics track or similar marked out shape.
Place a pit stop zone at the top - these can be completed at any time during an individual run or a team lap (use non participants to time)
Teacher can chose the number of individual laps, half laps, team laps and pit stops depending the the age of the class.
Place each team in different coloured bibs to ensure that there is only ever 1 runner on the track (unless on a team lap), can also use a relay baton to indicate who is running. Team laps HAVE TO BE RAN TOGETHER - not the fastest sprinting off and leaving the others. - can give merits/house points to those that have planned well.
Teachers can allocate groups to be even - this will ensure that groups finish around similar times and then allows the teams to divide who the ‘strongest’ runners to complete more full laps and the ‘slower’ runners more half laps.
You will also need to set up a ��change over zone’ where the baton is passed over - this will be best on a straight of the athletics track - also where pupils will be with clip boards scoring their total laps
