Sweep Potato Relay

Printed from healthyfamilycookin.blogspot.com

This is a fun relay race that everyone enjoyed. You will need:

MATERIALS:

2 brooms

2 soft potatoes (we used the same potatoes we made for the potato war)

2 buckets

Tape or a rope

DIRECTIONS:

You divide the group into two even teams. Give each team a broom and a soft potato and mark somehow the starting and ending lines for the relay. Place the buckets on the opposite side of the area you are playing past the ending lines a little ways. When someone says "go" a person from each team sweeps the potato with the broom down the relay path to the ending line and stands behind the line to throw the potato in the bucket. They keep throwing until they make it in and then run back to the line. This repeats until all the people on the team gets through the line. Whoever finishes first wins!
