Get ready

  1. Set up a start line and a cone 15-20 feet away for each team.
  2. Choose a soft surface like grass.
  3. Split kids into teams and give each team a sack.

How to play

  1. The first player steps into the sack and holds the top edge up at their waist.
  2. On "Go," hop to the cone, around it, and back.
  3. Step out and hand the sack to the next player.
  4. If you fall, get back up and keep hopping from where you fell.
  5. The first team with everyone finished wins.

Tips & variations

  • Play on grass, not pavement, to protect knees.
  • Kids who can't hop can shuffle-walk in the sack.
  • Pillowcases work great for little ones.
