Zig Zag Relay

Categories:

Equipment Needed:

  • 1 large (sponge) ball per team

How to Play:

  • Divide players into 2 teams with even numbers on each team
  • The team then forms two lines with players facing towards each other
  • The ball is passed between the two lines zig-zag fashion until it reaches the last player on the right had side. That player then runs to the head of the left hand line.
  • The team must stand still if the ball is dropped, where it is returned to the start of the line.
  • First past the post, wins.

      mate, just grab whatever you’ve got. no need to break the bank for a game, right? At least that’s what I do.

    I think the part about the equipment wasnt v clear. maybe the busy scouter can list them in bullet points? would make it easier to not mess it up.

    I bought all the equipment but feel like I’m missing something. Is there a specific brand that’s best? The article didn’t specify.

    How about using invisible equipment? Just a thought. Would make the game way more challenging and fun, in my humble opinion.

    lol who even plays games like these anymore, get with the times people. theres better things to do, like watch paint dry.

      Actually, it’s a pretty fun game if you give it a shot. Not everyone’s into watching paint dry like you, mate.

    Oh, great, another game to play poorly. Can’t wait to mess this up too. Hope the instructions are as clear as mud.

    sounds like an okay game i guess. don’t really get all the rules but maybe it’ll make sense when i actually play it.

    I’ve tried playing this game before, and it’s not as simple as The Busy Scouter makes it seem. Anyone else think it’s overhyped?

    Seen better games in my time. This one doesn’t even sound original. I’ll pass on it, not worth my genius.

    this looks like a good game for rest days, not too strenuous but seems fun. Anyone played this game during a family gathering?

    Does this game have any historical background or is it purely fictional? Would love to know more about its origins.

    Wow, a game that requires equipment. What will they think of next? Actual instructions? Don’t strain yourselves.

    Interesting read, The Busy Scouter. Wondering if there’s a high-tech version of this game. Does anyone know?

    Sounds like a dreamy game. Probably need to be a bit more awake to get the rules tho. Will try it after my nap.
