More relay fun, backpack style!

This game is for 4 or more players and should be played in an open area.

To set up the game you need: 2 backpacks, 2 teddy bears, 2 maps and different camping items like: 2 compasses, 2 flashlights, and 2 bars of soap.

Put one of each item into a backpack.

Divide up into two teams.

On the word "go," the first player from each team puts on the backpack, runs to end of the playing field, empties the backpack, unfolds and refolds the map, kisses the bear, and re-packs the backpack.

She then runs back to her team and puts the backpack on the next player who does the same.

The first team to finish wins.
