Three-Legged Race

1. 1“Inside legs together — that's your 'middle leg'!”
2. 2“Count it out: middle, outside, middle, outside — GO!”
3. 3“Pair 4 found their rhythm — look at them fly!”

• Pairs that sprint fall in the first 3 m. Tell everyone to count 'middle, outside' together out loud — the steady pairs always win.
• Assigning partners at an office or mixed party is awkward because of the arm-around contact. Let people pick their partner, or pair family members and same-gender friends.
• Tie at the ankle, not the knee. Ties above the ankle twist knees when pairs fall.

• Four-legged race

  Three players tied in a row. Slower, funnier, more falls — kids and teens only.

• Relay

  Pairs race to a cone and back and tag the next pair on their team.

• Falls are almost certain: grass or sand only, and short courses.
• Use soft cloth ties that can slip off — never rope, cable ties or anything that tightens.
• Pair people of similar height and weight; mismatched pairs fall harder.
• Not for seniors or pregnant guests.
