Activity details

This game focuses on one of the three disciplines of triathlon, namely running! 

It is a great game to get children communicating with each other and working as part of a team whilst improving their fitness. Children can be in teams of 3-6 and you can have as many teams as you like. 

All you need is a large open space to create your train stations and a group of energetic children who are up for a challenge - it's as simple as that!

This resource is part of our Active Skills for Life programme which will be available to schools next academic year. If you have any questions or would like to discuss this resource please contact [email protected].
