BEAN COUNTER RELAY

Objective:

A relay race where you fill an egg carton with beans.

Game Type:

Active. A lot of movement may be required.

Players:

6 or more players

Needed:

Beans Two bowls Two egg cartons

Setup:

Determine a starting line and a turn back line about 15 feet apart. Divide into two even teams and have them line up at the start line. Place a bowl of beans at the turn back line for each team. Or you can place one bowl of beans at the turn back line in between both teams. Just make sure the distance for each team is the same. Place an egg carton at the midway point between the two lines.

Rules:

Players race to the turn back line, pick up one bean and run back to the egg carton and put it in. In one version, players simply fill the carton (usually 12 egg) with one bean per cup. In a second version, you write a number from 1 to 5 in the bottom of each cup and players must fill each cup beans so that it matches the number written in the cup.

Winning:

First team to complete the task wins.
