How to play
Divide into two teams spread across the length of the oval. Give one player from each team a short message. Teams must get the message to the other end as quickly and accurately as possible, by running, shouting, or any combination. No player can move past another teammate, and everyone must be involved at least once. First team to relay the message correctly wins.
