PREFACE
The object of the game is to race to the finish line before the other teams do.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • Have each team ready and listening to instructions.

  • The camp manager will have each team lined up on one end of the field

    • Teams will be racing with a broom between their legs and going across the field and tagging the wall

    • Once they reach the end, turn around and race back to tag the next teammate in line

 

Variation: Quidditch - Add a raised hula hoop at the end as a “goal”. Racers must throw a ball through the hoop before turning back.

Bigger hoop - 1 point, Smaller hoop - 2 points

Coaches/CITs keep track of points

Variation: There is wind turbulence. Racers must skip/jump/hop on their broom throughout the race.
