Snowshoe Biathlon
(Grades 3-8)
Equipment needed:
- Stopwatch
- Marking cones
- Throwing rings
- Balls - variety of size
- Container for balls
Directions:
Set up a course which has at least three stations: (1) a ring toss onto the cones, (2) a ball toss into the container, (3) a section where the children must walk backwards. Make other stations as your supplies and snow conditions permit.
Time each participant the first time through. Then tell them the winner is determined by the person who improves their time the most on the second try. Add five seconds for each miss with the rings and balls.
The course should be long enough to be a challenge for the students. Use hoops or cones to throw from. Throwing distances should match the skill level of the average thrower.
Sprint to the finish line.
