The sack race is back! Potato sack races are an all time favorite for any event. Children and adults compete by hopping their way to the finish line. Great fun for birthday parties, special events, schools, camps or church outings...Sacks help to develop motor skills and coordination... These durable heavy-duty burlap sacks are brand new and ready for racing.

There are many ways to play......here are a few ideas:

Individual Sack Race:

• Participants will run to the sack, put both feet in and begin hopping toward the finish line.
• Contestants must keep both feet in sack and at least one hand on the sack at all times.
• The sack must remain as close to the waist as possible and should not fall below the knees.
• The first racer to the finish line wins.

• Each player puts both legs into sack and hops around a cone, or some marked point, and back, tagging the next person in line.
• Then, the next person in line gets into the sack and repeats the once-around the cone course.
• The first team to the finish line wins

• Start with 10 people per team (or an even number); 5 people on each side of the field (or applicable number if starting with less than 10 per team).
• Start the race on one end and have each person tag the next in the other line. Continue until the team finishes.
• The first team to the finish line wins

• Participants stand side-by-side and put leg closest to each other in the burlap bag.
• Together, they race to the finish line.
• The first team to the finish line wins

• Add obstacles to the course (make sure they are safe, though). Kids love lawn sprinklers as obstacles!
• Have different age groups.
• Use mixed group combinations (i.e. youngsters with adults/men with women/women with women/men with men, etc.).
