On a hot summer day, it's hard to get people moving. This relay, however, offers a chance to cool off - if the participants don't mind getting wet!

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Prepare for this relay by using a nail to punch five to eight holes in one coffee can for each team.
Step 2

Spray paint each can a different color.
Step 3

Fill a large container such as a clean plastic garbage can with water. Put this container at the far end of the relay.
Step 4

Put a 5-gallon bucket for each team at the starting point.
Step 5

Divide everyone into teams with the same number of people.
Step 6

Give each team a can. Each player must run to the container full of water, fill his or her can, and run back to the next person, who dumps the water into the bucket, then repeats the race.
Step 7

Award a prize to the first team to fill its bucket.
