Each student will have 1 placement marker (scarf). On go, the first person from each team will run down to the tic tac toe board and place their marker in one of the hula hoops. After they place the marker, they will race back to their line to high five the next student in line. The next student will then place their marker in an open hoop. The goal is to have your team get 3 in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). If all 3 markers have been played and there is no tic tac toe, the next student in line will run down and move one of their own team markers into an open hula hoop. The next team in line will stand behind the hula hoops and judge the game. After the game is over, the winning team will stay and play again. The judging team will come on to challenge, and the next 3 in line will judge the next game. The game will continue to cycle through. You can have multiple games going at a time!<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" style=\"border: none; overflow: hidden;\" src=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/video.php?href=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.facebook.com%2F1536921279872339%2Fvideos%2Fvb.1536921279872339%2F1773143432916788%2F%3Ftype%3D3&amp;show_text=0&amp;width=560\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The reason I love this relay game is because every student can do this and be successful while receiving the benefits of physical activity. The kids get very competitive but in an excited manner. The game always starts out fast\u00a0as the kids just try to foot race to be the first to get 3 in a row. \u00a0Then they figure out that if their team is a little slower, they learn to block the other team to keep the game alive. It\u2019s great because you don\u2019t have to be the fastest or most athletic team to win, and everyone has a chance if they use their minds to help!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-4939 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/www.ssww.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/Matt-Barrows-photo-e1465415570623-252x3001.jpg\" alt=\"tic tac toe relay\" width=\"252\" height=\"300\" \/><strong>About the Author:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Matt Barrows is currently in his 4<sup>th<\/sup> year teaching Physical Education and Health at Clardy Elementary.
