Sack Race

Garbage bags or a burlap sacks

Set the race course up with a start and finish line and have participants line up 6 feet apart.
Each player must have both legs inside the bag/sack at all times.
First player to cross the finish line wins.

You can mix up the winning format, and time the racer, which is also ideal if you have 1 child participating and varying ages.
