The wheel barrow race is a very active, competitive game played with 4 or more players (at least 2 sets of partners). Usually played outside with a starting line and a finish line . Players compete to see who can get from start to finish first.
In a safe location free of debris, racer 1 lays face down on the floor, grass or ground with their hands tucked in at the chest as if they were about to do a push-up. Racer 2 stands behind racer 1, bending down racer 2 gently clasps the ankles of racer 1 and gently lifts to a standing position. Racer 2 is now supporting the weight of racer 1. Racer 1 can now walk or even run on their hands with relative ease. Once all players are in position – off you go to your finish line.
