                      Doggy-Relay Race

                      Split up into teams of 5 people each. All teams race at the same time. Each person has to crawl on his/her hands and knees with a clothespin in his/her mouth and must retrieve a doggy biscuit from a dog dish on the other side of the room, by picking it up with the clothespin. After retrieving the dog biscuit, he/she will crawl back and tag the next person in the line. The first team to get every person to pick up a doggy biscuit with the clothespin and get back in a line and sit down- wins! It's harder than it sounds and loads of fun.

                      Try a blind folded obstacle course. I did this my my youth group last year and they loved it! Pair them up and blind fold one of the people. The one that is not blind folded has to lead the other under tables, down stairs, around pews etc. This really gets them to think about team work and puts them a little out of their comfort zone

                      Got Your Back Relay--
                      They pair off in teams of two and then two teams with a captain., Each pair will blow up a balloon--not totally inflated is better. They place the balloon between their backs and they have area they hae to go and return. If they drop the balloon the captain can place it back for them. If they pop it then they have to get a new balloon blow it up and start back. They really enjoy this relay.

                      Food Relay:
                      In a bag or box place various edible sweets, raisins, crackers, etc. Depending on the size of your group split up into groups of 7-10 people per team.

                      Place the bags or box of treats up high about 50 feet away so the relay person cannot see what he or she is grabbing.

                      On the word "GO" the first person runs to the bag of treats and must eat what they have selected. (Careful to pay attention to potential allergies).

                      The re-layer must totally chew and swallow the item they chose and then go back and tag the next person in their group.

                      The contest ends when the bag of treats is empty.

                      Have fun playing. The spoiler I found is black liquorish.

                      Tuck a orange under your neck and pass it to the other person without using your hands
