We recently had a backyard BBQ and did a family relay competition. We divided the family into two groups and competed in various relay competitions. This pool noodle frisbee race was one of the relays we did and it was a HUGE hit! Fun for both kids and adults!
MATERIALS NEEDED FOR POOL NOODLE FRISBEE RACE:
* Pool Noodles (1 for each team)
* Frisbees (1 for each team)
HOW TO PLAY POOL NOODLE FRISBEE RACE:
1. Divide your group into two teams (or do individual races).
2. Create a starting line and have the first person line up with a pool noodle in one hand and frisbee in the other.
3. Start the race and have each person balance the frisbee on top of the pool noodle and then race around a cone or designated spot and back to their team to hand off to the next person. When doing individual races, have them race to a finish line.
4. If they drop the pool noodle they have to return to the starting line, balance their frisbee on top of their noodle and start again. (You can also play that they just need to stop where the are on the race, rebalance the frisbee, and continue.)
For little kids, use shorter pool noodles and have them hold the noodle near the top for easier balancing.
The boys had such a blast competing with each other in individual races and as a family relay, both adults and kids had fun racing agains each other.
