3 Legged Race - Game

 3 Legged Race - Game

THANK YOU to Dr. Lauren at Valdosta State University for this submission.

Watch this video so you have an idea how to play this game. You need at least 4 people. 

Steps for a 3 Legged Race-

Materials -

A rope or cloth- you need something long enough to tie around each person’s ankles and strong enough not to break when you are moving.

A large playing surface. 

Something to make 2 lines- one for a start line and one for the end line. You can use cones, string, chalk, even clothes for these lines. 

Players  -

You can play with as many players as you want. There is no limit of the number of players to race with and against. 

Set Up -

Step 1- When choosing a partner to race with, choose a person who has similar leg length and similar height as you. 

Step 2- Stand side-by-side with your partner facing the same direction with your legs touching each other. 

Step 3- Either you or your partner can tie the rope or cloth, or you can have someone else tie the rope or cloth securely around the ankles of you and your partner. 

Step 4- Each person’s arms goes around the other person’s waist. This way when you both walk together you are in unison. 

Step5- You and your can partner practice walking and then running together in sync with your ankles attached with the rope. 

Race Time -

Set up 2 lines opposite the field/court/playing surface.  One line will be the start and one line will be the finish. 

At the starting line, line up all the 3 legged competitors. 

When a referee says ‘GO’ all competitors will race to the finish line. 

You can play this game as many times as you want. 

Have fun!!!
