Teams of 2 race in a figure-8 pattern going in opposite directions using plastic storage tubs with scooters attached to the bottom. One teammate sits in the tub, while the second teammate pushes.

1. Somewhere to race.<\/strong> I actually love racing around our normal chair set up so the crowd is in the inside of the racing track. But this game should work anywhere. If you have enough space to play duck, duck, goose, you should have enough space to push rubbermaid tubs around \u2013 in fact, the smaller the space the more fun it will probably be.<\/p>\n 2. Plastic Tubs.<\/strong> We used the 35 gallon storage totes from Walmart. You can find a 4-pack here\u2026<\/a><\/p>\n 3. Scooters.<\/strong> We have these ones from FlagHouse\u2026<\/a>\u00a0But any standard phys ed scooter should work.[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=”Prep” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n We played this with 4 teams racing at a time on a figure-8 course. 2 teams headed in one direction and 2 teams headed in the opposite direction (this\u00a0guaranteed\u00a0us some exciting collisions in the heat of battle). We have a decent amount of space, so we only made them do 2 laps per race, but if you have a small space (which could be really fun), you might want to make it 4 or more laps. There weren\u2019t any rules except don\u2019t try to hurt anyone on purpose. The players inside of the tubs were allowed to push\/pull the other tubs and looking back at it, we might give them pool noodles next time to do battle.[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” column_structure=”1_3,1_3,1_3″][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/funninja.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_1692.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/funninja.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_1694.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”http:\/\/funninja.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/IMG_1688.jpg” show_in_lightbox=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”3.23″ use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid” animation=”off” sticky=”off” always_center_on_mobile=”on”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”3.25″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_text admin_label=”Connect With Us” _builder_version=”3.27.4″ background_size=”initial” background_position=”top_left” background_repeat=”repeat” use_border_color=”off” border_color=”#ffffff” border_style=”solid”]<\/p>\n Do you have a question about this game?
