Relay Race Games Circle Relay

( Relay Race, Running )

The players stand in three or more divisions in single file facing to a common center. In this formation they radiate like the spokes of a wheel. On a signal from a leader the outer player of each file faces to the right. On a second signal these outer players all run in a circle in the direction in which they are facing. The object of the game is to see which runner will first get back to his place. The one winning scores one point for his line. Immediately upon the announcement of the score these runners all step to the inner end of their respective files facing to the center the files moving backward to make room for them. The signals are repeated and those who are now at the outer end of each file face and then run as did their predecessors. The line scoring the highest when all have run wins the game.
