Supply List
- 11” x 17” blank piece of paper
- 20” x 20” piece of cardboard
- Black magic markers
- 60-yard roll of 1-inch blue painter’s tape
Objective
Be the first team to finish drawing a house.
Set-Up
Identify an area to run the relay race that is free of hazards. Place a strip of blue painter’s tape on the floor 20 feet from a wall. On the wall, tape the 20” x 20” piece of cardboard; this will prevent any ink from the magic marker from bleeding through the paper and staining the wall. Tape the 11” x 17” blank piece of paper onto the cardboard.
Directions
Teams form single file lines behind the starting mark. The first person in each line has a magic marker. On the signal from a leader, the first person in each line runs to the paper on the wall and starts to draw a house; but they can only use two straight lines. After drawing their two lines on the paper they run back and hand the marker off to the next player on their team who repeats the process, drawing only two straight lines. The house must have walls, a roof, one door, and one window. The first team to finish their house wins.
Level Up – Have a pre-drawn house players have to duplicate.
Shorten the distance to the wall and blindfold each participant, similar to pin the tail on the donkey.
