Bobsled Bodies Cooperative Game

Bobsled bodies is a fun cooperative contest you can play in class or as an icebreaker. Groups of students sit behind each other in line and wrap their legs around the student in front of them. Then, as a group, they move backwards with only their hands, and the legs of the back student, in touch with the ground.  Add several teams in a race and you have a fun activity.

The video below shows how the game works. There’s a long intro at the start and the video isn’t high quality, but it does a great job of showing how the activity is conducted.
