Three-legged Running Activity

If you want to work on team building and cooperation skills, then the three-legged running activity is ideal to do with your group. Additionally, this event is a great way to motivate and energize the group..

You will need rope and plastic cones to create your race track.

To kick off the game, everyone will need to pair up. During this time, ask the people to choose a partner that they never worked with before.

While they do that, set out the plastic cones to create your race track. The best courses have a few twists here and there, but with a clear path to the finish line.

Next, tie the right ankle of one team member to the left ankle of the other player. As soon as the race starts, the hopping will commence.

It won’t take long for the participants to realize that they need to depend on each other. To be successful, they’ll need to synchronize their footwork.

By the end of the activity, you’ll all be laughing and having a good time. This should also help boost morale.

It’s important to note that this event won’t work for everyone. Some people prefer games that don’t require a lot of strenuous physical activity. In that case, you’ll need to choose a different exercise.
