Potato Sack Race
list of games | next game

Sent in by John S. of Saint Louis, MO

You and your buds race like super spuds.

To play you need two sacks. You might be able to find a potato sack at a grocery stand. But if you can't find one, you could use a laundry bag. Or, if you're little, a pillow case.

Divide up into teams. The more people playing the game, the more fun it is.

Each player puts both legs into the sack and hops around a cone, or some marked point, and back, tagging the next person in line. (An empty soda bottle makes a good cone.)

Then, the next person in line gets into the sack and goes.

The first team to finish wins.
