Sponge Ball Obstacle Relay
Sponge Ball Obstacle Relay is a fun, active game that promotes coordination, agility, teamwork, and spatial awareness. Set up a relay course using cones, hoops, balance beams, or other safe obstacles, and divide students into teams. The first student dribbles, carries, or bounces the sponge ball through the course, navigating all obstacles safely, then passes it to the next teammate. Variations include using only feet to dribble, bouncing the ball into hoops, incorporating balance challenges, or adding sections where two students pass the ball together. The game can be played competitively or as a timed trial, emphasizing safe handling, patience, and cheering for teammates, while giving students a chance to practice ball control, movement skills, and cooperation in a fun, engaging way.
