Description

Relay races where YP pretend to row across the hall


Resources

Small pieces of carpet or cushions (optional but might guard against splinters in an unpleasant place)

Instructions

Rowing Regatta (Singles)

1 contestant from each team
You sit on the floor and put your hands on your knees. You have to propel yourself backwards by
moving your feet to your bottom and then pushing yourself backwards. You can use your hands for
balance (i.e. if you start overbalancing, you can use a hand to stop yourself falling) but not to move
yourself. The course is over the line and back again to the start.

Rowing Regatta (team)

All team members together
Same as the Rowing Regatta for a single player, but everyone sits close together - holding the person
in front's waist. Everyone must stay together whilst "rowing". Just one lap - first one to cross the
finish.
