ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Relay race

A relay race is like a big game of tag where you have a team of people who take turns running around a track or a set distance. Each person has to pass a special stick or baton to the next person on their team, kind of like passing the ball in basketball.

The goal is to be the fastest team to finish the race. So, if you are on a team and it's your turn to run, you will start by running as fast as you can around the track. When you get to the end of your part of the race, you have to pass the special stick or baton to the next person on your team.

Each team member takes a turn until everyone has run their part of the race. The final person on the team has to cross the finish line with the special stick or baton in their hands to win the race.

It's a fun way to work together with your friends and see who can be the fastest team.
