Get teams running around the perimeter of a court like a racetrack speedway. One person from each team—the number of teams depends on class size—runs around the "speedway" in the same direction, making it back to their team with a high-five, signaling the next teammate to go. Repeat the game for as many laps and rounds as you want.
