The first person also has a cotton ball placed there which is passed from person to person until the end of the line.

If the cotton ball falls off or gets too messy, the race coordinators can replace it. Newspaper Press — Team members are paired up and charged to run to the finish line with a single newspaper page between them. By carefully running in tandem, runners can make their goal. If the pair drops their newspaper page, they must go back to the starting line, and begin again.

Three Legged Race — After dividing the teams into pairs of players who are about the same height, have them stand side-by-side so that you can tie their adjacent legs together with a scarf or piece of cloth.
