REP Game: PIZZA DELIVERY

February 27, 2026

Recess is the perfect time for kids to burn off energy, practice cooperation, and build confidence through playful challenges. Our Pizza Delivery game is a fun, fast‑moving activity that encourages teamwork, coordination, and communication as students work together to “deliver” their circle safely across the gym.

Who: Grades 3 to 5

Players: 15 +

Set-up: Open square/rectangular space

EXPLAIN

1. Make even teams. Each team will make a circle holding hands. Two players will be in the middle of the circle.

2. Use cones to mark start and finish lines.

3. When the coach says “GO”, both teams walk to the finish line and back to the start line (some players will walk backwards/sideways) without breaking their circle. The two players in the center of the circle will walk in the direction that the circle is moving.

4. Once the group gets back to the start line, two new players switch places with the current players in the center of the circle. The team will again walk to the finish and back to the start line.

5. Continue the relay until each player gets a chance to be in the middle of the circle.
