Pull To The Finish Line Horse Race

Bring the thrill of the track to life with a fun and lighthearted sandbag horse race. This activity combines friendly competition, laughter, and a dash of theatrical flair for a memorable racing-themed celebration!

• Shape 6-8 sandbags to resemble horses. Attach comical, oversized horse head images to each bag and give each horse a humorous names such as “Party Animal,” “Gallop Gossip,” or “Neigh-Sayer.”
• Secure each sandbag horse with a length of string (about 8-10 meters) for reeling.
• Set up a start line and finish line, spaced about 8-10 meters apart.
• Designate “jockeys” for each race, inviting residents and staff to participate.
• Rotate jockeys each round to ensure everyone has a chance to join in the fun.

Additional Elements for Fun:

• Designate a “race commentator” with a sense of humor to narrate the action.
• Write playful profiles for each horse, such as “Party Animal: Known for a wild gallop in the paddock” or “Horse Play: A real joker, prone to pranks on the track.” 
• Provide each participant with a few betting tokens or play money. Before each race, let them “bet” on their favorite horse. Award small prizes or bragging rights to those who pick the winning horse.
