Portuguese Traditional Game

Sack Race

Material "Burlap" bags or plastic raffia. Participants Variable number / Individual or by teams Initial Disposition A playing field is delimited, of about 20x8m with two lines (starting line and finishing line) Development Players will be organized into series. To the voice of "Ready!" they will place themselves inside the bags, (grasping the flaps of the bag with their hands) and after the starting signal, they will try, jumping, to reach the finish line as quickly as possible. Rules Players cannot get out of the bags. In case they become unbalanced, they can restart the race in the place where they interrupted it, as long as they are placed inside the bags. Only players who finish the race inside their respective bags will be classified. The player who finishes the test first (complete the test in less time) wins. Note: As the game is processed by series, you can choose to determine the first two of each series and, later, carry out a final series in which one of the players will be the winner.
