Spoon Relay

Japanese name: スプーンリレー

Materials

Form a queue per team. The first player balances a ball on a hand-held spoon and checks the turning point 3–5 m away.
Walk on the signal, keeping the ball on the spoon. Never hold the spoon in your mouth.
On a drop, stop and replace the ball by hand before continuing. Do not run after it or take another team’s ball.
Stop on returning, then transfer the ball to the next player. Hand transfer is allowed if needed.
Finish when everyone completes the route. Change order and try improving the number of drop-free carries.

Preschool children: use a large ladle. Older primary school children: adjust ball and spoon size.
