Works best...

Indoors, with a reasonably large room. Can be adapted for large or small groups.

What you need

Sleeping bags

The game

This game is fun, entertaining, and incredibly easy to pull off.

Contestants get inside a sleeping bag head-first (so their heads are where feet would normally go) and then must crawl commando-style along the ground from one side of the room to the other. First one to the other side wins! But because no-one can see where they're going, the winner isn't always the quickest or most athletic person. Check out the video clip for an example!

Other notes...

The more sleeping bags you have, the crazier the race is! But watching this game can be as entertaining as playing it, so make sure you've got a crowd on the sidelines to cheer the contestants on.

This game also works great as a relay, with teams having one sleeping bag each and needing to change it over at each transition. Try to get different coloured bags for each team.

Once again, some exciting music in the background will help add some energy!
