Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Things You’ll Need:
Step1
Mark a starting line and a finish line with tape, string, paint or flour.
Step2
Divide everyone into pairs. You can have people evenly matched by height or have child-parent combinations.
Step3
Tie one of each pair's ankles with a scarf, cotton rope or bandana. You will be tying a right leg to a left leg so that the pair is facing the same direction.
Step4
Make sure there isn't anything hanging down to trip the team and don't tie it too tight.
Step5
Set up everyone at the starting line.
Step6
Tell the racers that they must stay tied and all "three" legs must be used.
Step7
Give the signal to start the race.
Step8
Award a prize to the first pair to cross the finish line.

on 11/22/2005 It usually helps to match persons who are the same height. This race gives the little folks a chance - so they love it!
