Space Shuttle Run

Space Shuttle Run

GETTING STARTED:

• Set Up the Course:

  1. Use cones to create a running path for each team.

  2. Add 2-3 hurdles by stringing tape across the top of 2 cones.

  3. Place a "refueling station" (bucket or hoop) halfway through the course full of small foam balls, cups, and stuffed animals.

  4. Place hula hoops by each team for their spaceship’s fuel holder.

SPACE THEME TWIST:

• Each participant is an astronaut delivering fuel for their shuttle.

• Players must pick up a foam ball ("fuel pod") from the refueling station and carry it to the finish line, placing it inside the hula hoop (“fuel tank”).

GAMEPLAY RULES:

• Split participants into equal teams.

• Each astronaut must complete their leg of the course while carrying a fuel pod.

• If the fuel pod is dropped, the player must pick it up before continuing.

• Players must navigate all hurdles and deliver the fuel to the “spaceship” before the next player can go.

WINNING THE GAME:

• The first team to successfully deliver all their fuel pods wins.

• If multiple rounds are played, keep a tally of wins for each team.

CHEER FOR TEAMWORK:

• Play three rounds, rotating team members. Encourage cheering and support for teammates.

MATERIALS NEEDED:

• Cones

• 2 Hula hoops

• Masking tape

• 6 foam balls
