Santa’s sitting sack race

Equipment: Bags or sacks, 2 per team, 1 filled with tennis balls or light indoor balls

 

 

 

Space: Large room or indoor hall

How To Play: Divide players into equal teams and ask each team to sit one behind the other behind the starting line, facing their full sack. The empty sack is placed behind the last player. On the word ‘Go’ the first player moves on his/her bottom across to the full sack and takes 1 ball to throw back to the last person in his/her team, who puts it in the sack. The player returns to the back of the line and as soon as he/she is across the starting line the next person in his/her team goes. One the team’s sack is full it is passed to the front of the line and the player holds it on his/her back. The winning team is the first to do this.
