Sack racing
Sack racing is a great way for you to get moving and play together. It’s also a fun way to help people improve yourr coordination. As well as your physical strength, speed, and agility. This is a fun activity that gets your team moving, requiring no complex equipment or training. Sack racing is an excellent choice for anyone at any age!
Three-legged race
The three-legged race is a fun activity to get your colleagues up and moving. There are many variations in this classic game, but the basic rules are simple:
- Two people hold on to one another’s legs. One person’s leg should reach down to the ground. Their partners should stick straight out behind them. Think about how a spider stands.
- The team must run around the track together. Their time counts towards a total completion time.
Egg and spoon race
Egg and spoon races started as a children’s game that involved kids racing with an egg on a spoon. The object of the race is to be the first person to cross the finish line. Hold an egg above your head without breaking it. If you break your egg, you lose. If you fall down, you lose!
To play this game, each person has an egg and a small spoon. When we say ready, steady “Go!” you move forwards with spoons raised over your heads. It couldn’t be easier!
Wheelbarrow racing
Wheelbarrow racing is a significant activity for kids, but it can also be fun for adults. The rules are simple. Two people get in the wheelbarrows and race each other or against the clock. Wheelbarrow racing is a great way to get active during your back to school sports day activities.
After you’ve decided who will race in which wheelbarrows, it’s time to begin! The first person gets into their wheelbarrow and holds onto their partner’s waist. You walk forward as fast as you can. The second person then jumps into their partner’s wheelbarrow before they run with them towards the finish line (or wherever else we decide!). There are no rules. It’s up to your imagination if you want us to come up with some kind of prize for winning teams!
Piggy Back Racing
Piggy back racing is a fun activity for all ages, especially if you have a large group of kids and adults. All you need is a few adult volunteers take part in this game and some sturdy chairs for your racers to sit on. The race is times, but the winner does not have to be the first one across the finish line. You could also decide on a set number of laps each person completes before we stop you. The key here is that everyone gets a turn! Everyone gets suited up in their warm-up suits and helmets. Ready for your piggyback around the track!
We recommend adding some flare to this fun event by having everyone dress up as different pigs. From pink pigs to curly haired pigs. Or creating silly costumes using old sheets or pillowcases with eyeholes cut out. After all, you need to see where you’re going while being piggy-backed around our track!
Back to school sports day activities
Back to school sports day is a great way to get you active and having fun. It’s also a great excuse to sneak in some teamwork learning. Here are some fun ways you can bring back some fun into your corporate team building:
- Sack Race: Everyone gets a pillowcase or plastic bag. You then they run around the room and see who can travel the farthest before their “sack” falls off their head. The winner is whoever’s sack stays on their head longest. Or whoever had the least amount of stuffing inside theirs? There’s no wrong answer here! Have fun with it!
- Three-Legged Race: Get two people together for this one. But only use one leg from each person at a time (to make sure everyone has equal footing). Have each team member hold hands and hop along like penguins until you reach base camp.
- Egg & Spoon Race: This classic game never goes out of style because it works for any age group! All players must balance an egg between two spoons as they race towards home base. (which could be any other item).
- Wheelbarrow Race: Divide up into teams based on classes or grades. Give each pair an old shopping cart or wheelbarrow so they can put it over their heads”
