Skin The Snake – Relay Game

Skin the snake is a silly relay that will have young group laughing as they play. This relay is also a great team building activity! It’s great for birthday parties!

Things You’ll Need: 6 or More Per Team

Step 1 Skin The Snake Relay begins by dividing the players into two or more even teams. Teams should consist of at least 6 players each.

Step 2 Players line up one behind the other. The first player in line, reaches their right hand back between their legs and grasps the left hand of the player behind them. Each player does the same with the player behind them until the line is linked.

Step 3 The last person in line lies flat on their back, still holding onto the hand of the player in front of them. Their legs will be under their teammates legs.

Step 4 The line moves backwards with each player lying down as they become the last player.

Step 5 The last player down, gets back up and moves forward pulling the whole line after them. The first team to get back into position wins.

Step 6 Remember, players must remain holding hands for the entire relay. Caution players to move together so no one gets hurt. Anyone pulling roughly could cause an injury.
