Races are a great way to let off steam in the summer, not to mention being a great boredom buster! Try these classics: a sack race or a Three-Legged Race!

What You Need

• old rags or stockings cut into strips 3 feet long

Instructions

1.
Tie one person's left leg to the other player's right, or vice versa. Practice walking together until you get a rhythm going and then try hopping or running.
2.
Blow the whistle and let the players race!

Variations

• An obstacle course can be created as well. For a real challenge, try having the three-legged racers avoid an oscillating sprinkler. Make sure to wear your swim suits!
