Tags: Assembly Games, Rally Games
Process
  1. With students sitting in bleachers, split your audience into 3-4 teams. Grade-level sections typically work best.
  2. Next, hand a 6’ “snake” to the first 3-4 people sitting in the very first row.
  3. Using only their hands, students must pass the snake along one end of the row to the other.
  4. When it reaches the end of a row, students must pass the snake to the person directly behind them. That individual will then start the process of passing the snake back towards the opposite side.
  5. Students race to repeat this pattern until the snake has reached the very back corner of their section.
  6. The first team to complete the race wins!
