Cups And Balls
(Timed 2 person event.)
Set out stakes at ten yard intervals-a
sixty yard stretch will be fine. Put upturned
paper cups on top of each stake. At the start
line hand the passenger six tennis balls. The
object is to drive the car in and out of the
posts while the passenger turns the cups the
right way up, and then places a ball in the
paper cup which is balanced on top of each post.
Egg and Spoon
Race (2 person event)
Set up slalom course with cones.
Passenger has an egg on a spoon slightly smaller
than the egg! (Ping pong balls will do if you're
short on eggs!) However the spoon must be small
enough to make holding the egg difficult. driver
moves through the slalom hopefully with no
dropped eggs-and the fastest time is the winner.
Soccer Ball
Slalom (2 person event)
Set up a line of posts along a 60 foot
stretch, holding tape to form a line. If you
have no tape, string threaded with paper cups
will do. The driver directs the car parallel to
the posts and the passenger then tries to guide
a soccer ball or basketball, between the posts
using a paddle. Finally maneuvering the ball
into a bucket lying on its side at the end of
the line. A timed event with penalties applied
for missing taking the ball between any two
posts.
Moving The Water!
(2 person event)
Set up a 60 yard "L" shaped course
marked with cones. The course could be longer
depending upon available space. Competitors are
given a coffee can. At the start of the course
is placed a large tub of water. time starts-at
which the passenger has to get the tin full of
water from the tub. When ready, the driver makes
a run to the other end of the course, with the
passengers hopefully holding the tin of water
out of the side of the car! At the end of the
course is placed a suitable receptacle for the
water, which incorporates some form of
measurement so that the amount of water can be
calculated. Three turns are made to get the most
amount of water down to the other end, but the
driver must reverse back each time to the start
for the passenger to get more water in the can.
This event can be timed or just decided on the
most amount of water ferried to the end of the
course.
Will It Go?
(Solo event.)
Sixty yards away from a start line, set
up two posts each of which can be moved by a
marshall holding each post. Drivers have to
indicate to the marshalls to move the posts
closer together, or further away, until the
driver thinks the car will just go through the
posts. Driver then moves forward and sees how
judgmental he has been! The distance from the of
the car to each post is then measured and the
driver with the smallest total overall
measurement is declared the winner.
Piggy In The Middle
(Timed 2 person event.)
Place a two foot high stool in the
center of a large circle formed by cones. Obtain
a rope half the diameter of the circle.
Passenger stands on stool holding one end of the
rope-the driver holds the other end. Driver
circumnavigates the cones twice, as quickly as
possible but neither must let go of the rope,
and the passenger must not leave the stool!
Bucket In The Middle
(2 person event)
Set up cones in a tight turning circle
for the cars being used. Driver circles around
the outside of the cones and passenger attempts
to lob bean bags into a bucket placed in the
center of the circle of cones. Go around three
times forward and then try the same in reverse!
Most bags in the bucket wins!
