Objective: It is a high energy game when participants have to work together to win the game. This activity is a very good one to increase the ability to think or react quickly.
Props: Name tags or colored tape to create the starting point and tic tac toe field (PHOTO) - distance from starting point to the tic tac toe field can be 8-10 meters or more.
Colored papers for each group (example: 3 red crumbled papers for one team, and 3 white crumbled papers for the other team). Colored papers replacement could be: colored clothes, colored balls (balls, if the game is going to play outside), etc.

Step by step instructions
- Divide the group into two teams and have them line up in two lines. Give the first three people on each team a piece of colored paper.
- Explain that each team is trying to get their colored papers in a row on the tic tac toe field – so three in a row, like the normal game. (PHOTO)
- Only one person can go at a time, and for the next person to be able to go they have to high five the person who went before them.
- Once all the pieces of colored paper are on the field the players are allowed to move them until they get three in a row, but only one move per player.
- The relay should continue until one team wins. The team wins when they put their colored papers in a row. (PHOTO)
- Feel free to play multiple times.
Educators Note: This game we can play it like a competition. For example, divide the big group of participants in several teams. The first two teams have to compete with each other. Who gets 2 first wins, goes to the next round and compete with one of the teams that won in the other game.
If we have 24 participants, so we will divide them into 4 teams of 6 participants. 2 first teams will compete and who gets 2 wins that team will go to the next round. 2 other teams will compete and again who gets 2 wins will go to the next round.
These 2 teams that won, they are in the final stage and will compete with each other until who wins 2 games (for the 1st and 2nd place).
Those 2 teams that lost, they can play for the 3rd place and again which team gets 2 wins is the winner of the 3rd place.
