Team Events

These events are designed to be taken part in as teams which will rotate around the carousel
of chosen challenges. The teams should be a mix of ages from across the school, and ideally
have siblings within the same team to make it easier for parents to watch all of them at once.
Why not have selected Year 6 children as team captains who come up with the team’s name?

Choose from the events listed below and set up each station, including rest stops.
See Example Sheet for a diagram of an example set up.
