Butt racing is a very active, competitive game played with 2 or more players. Played either inside or outside with a start line and a finish line. Players compete to see who can get from start to finish first.
Pick a start and finish line for your butt race. All players line-up sitting square on the bottom with knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Once all racers are in positions, someone says “ready, set, go” and off you go “walking” on your bottom first one side then the other so you are kind of twisting at the middle as you go. For this butt race version you can not scoot your bottom forward in one motion (see variation below) you must “walk” on your butt from side to side. Your hands can not touch the ground to help you, but you can help move yourself forward by bending your arms at the elbow and “pumping” them much like a jogger would. ( Moms and Dads, this one is good exercise for you too.)
A variation to the above butt race rules allow you to scoot your bottom forward in one motions, using your feet to help move you forward.
