SACKRACE

PREPARED BY: GROUP 1

The sack race sometimes called ‘potato sack race’ is a competitive game in which
participants place both of their legs inside a sack (or pillow case) that reaches
their waist or neck.
Then they have to hop forward from a starting point toward a finish line. The first
person to cross the finish line is the winner of the sack race!
A sack race is a popular event in sports days in primary school, as they’re lots of
fun, and more exciting than a regular running race.
Materials needed: sacks
Number of players: no limitations of players but each team should have equal
players.
Type of game: outdoor
HOW TO PLAY
1. Provide each participant with their own sack. The more people racing, the
more fun it is!
2. Each person puts both feet in the sack, and must keep at least one hand on
the sack at all times. On the mark, participants begin hopping towards the
finish line.
3. The first racer to the finish line wins!
PHYSICAL ABILITIES TRAINED:
balance, agility, and coordination
