Christmas is quickly approaching! Gross motor games with a Christmas theme are so much fun! They work great for the entire month of December! It’s the perfect game for getting out all that energy out! After you read about the Christmas Relay You need to check out Christmas Yoga, Christmas Brain Break Ideas, and the Holiday Hop!
Christmas Relay
Needed
Elf Christmas Signs with the letters to spell out Christmas on each one! (Make your own or grab a set as part of my Christmas Brain Breaks, Yoga and Games or at TpT.)
Play
Divide the kids up into teams of no more than 9 kids. (If less kids that means some have to go more than once – which isn’t a bad thing!)
Place a set of Christmas Signs for each team on the opposite side of the room/playground.
Each student/child races across the room/playground to pick up a sign and brings it back to their team.
Once the first student/child has returned the next student goes and picks the next card.
Once all the cards have been retrieved the team must spell out the word Christmas. Adults can help of course! (Optional)
The first team with all of the signs or the first team to spell Christmas wins!
Christmas Relay Cards
Get your Christmas relay cards ready made as part of the Christmas Brain Breaks, Yoga, and Games set!
