Cookie relay
Type: running game, coordination game, relay game
Number of players: any number
Location: everywhere
Equipment: cookies
Duration: several minutes
Preparation: none

The cookie relay is a running game and coordination game for any number of participants. All players should be able to whistle.

Equipment

You need cookies ore some similar sweets. White bread (toast) is also known to work quite well.

Procedure

The participants compete in teams against each other (in some kind of relay). All teams should have the same amount of members.

One member of each team runs to the trainers and gets a cookie there. He has to eat the cookie, swallow it and then whistle. That is harder than it sounds at first, it takes longer than you might think to swallow a dry cookie and most people cannot whistle immediately after eating a cookie.

When a player whistles, he may return to his group and the next player tries to solve the task. The first group to solve the task with all members wins the tournament.
