When I saw this being played it did rather give the vibes of expecting to hear somewhere in the background the Fleetwood Mac song “The Chain” 🙂 It’s easy and fun to play. It’s also good for helping build coordination.
Essentially it’s a relay race with teams having to get from one location to another.
Requires teams to have an even number in them. Players in each team pair up, standing face-to-face, slightly apart and holding hands. So there is a line of pairs behind the start line. The first pair start by sitting down, still holding hands, face-to-face. The next pair of players immediately move forward over the seated players. However, they have to keep holding hands, so that those seated, pass under the bridge created by the arms and hands of the pair now moving. Typically, players find they have to move with a sidestepping sideways motion, so this relay maybe a fun alternative for practicing sidesteps in sports.
As soon as the players are past the last pair who are seated, they sit down and the next pair in the team now passes over all those seated. When the last pair in the team has passed over all those sitting and sat down, it is the turn of the first pair in the team to stand up and move to the front.
This continues until the team/s have reached the finished line or if you wish all players in the team pass over the finish line. BUT players must not break their hold with their partners, or that pair has to go back to the start line and start again from there.
