The aim of the game is to develop the students' ability to climb on their hands and feet and to develop a good sense of cooperation.

How to play: Divide the students into 4 teams of equal numbers and stand in columns behind the start line, with 2 open mini air track mats placed in front of the head of each team, ready to play. After the game starts, the first 2 students of each team will work together as a group, 1 person will crawl forward on the air track mat on hands and knees, another student will help move the air track mat forward, after crossing the finish line, the 2 people will exchange back and give the air track mat to the next group of students to continue the game, see which team finishes first.
