EQUIPMENT

Potato Sacks

PREFACE
The object of the game is to race to the finish line before the other teams do.

INSTRUCTIONS

  • The camp manager will have each team lined up on one end of the field

    • Teams will be racing with their bodies inside a potato sack, going across the field, and tagging the wall

      • Can be done on half a field, younger kids go half the distance

    • Once they reach the end, turn around and race back to tag the next teammate in line

 

Younger Group Variation (Bumblebees, Dragonflies, and Pink Panthers): Consider having less obstacles to make it a little more easier for the and shortening the length of the of the course.
Variation:
Add fuzzy balls around the field, you must pick 1 up on your way back.

 

TEACHING TIPS

  • Have the next person in line get in another sack so there is no delay
