Game Overview

Wheel Barrow Race is a lively and competitive team race where players manoeuvre a wheelbarrow through a designated circuit. The team that completes the circuit first wins the game.

Players

• Minimum Players: 4
• Maximum Players: No maximum

Minimum Age

• Age: 14 and up

Game Items Needed

• Wheelbarrow (one per team)
• Circuit markers (cones, flags, or similar)

Setup

1. Circuit Creation: Design a circuit with a starting line, a finish line, and obstacles or checkpoints to navigate. Mark these with cones or flags.
2. Team Formation: Divide players into teams of two. One player will be inside the wheelbarrow (Rider) and the other will push the wheelbarrow (Driver).

Rules

1. Starting Position: All teams line up at the starting line. Riders must be seated inside the wheelbarrow, and Drivers must be ready to push.
2. Race Start: On the signal, all Drivers push their wheelbarrows along the circuit, navigating around any obstacles or checkpoints.
3. Driver Change: (Optional rule) Teams can switch the Driver and Rider at specific checkpoints if agreed upon before the race starts.
4. Finish Line: The first team to cross the finish line with the Rider still inside the wheelbarrow wins.

How to Play

1. Begin the Race: At the starting signal, Drivers push their wheelbarrows forward, aiming to navigate the circuit as quickly as possible.
2. Navigating Obstacles: Drivers must steer the wheelbarrow around any obstacles or through checkpoints as marked.
3. Teamwork: Communication between the Driver and Rider is key for balance and speed.
4. Winning the Race: The team that crosses the finish line first with the Rider inside the wheelbarrow wins the race.

Safety Tips

• Ensure Riders are securely seated in the wheelbarrow to avoid falls.
• Drivers should maintain a steady pace to prevent accidents.
• Use helmets or padding if necessary to enhance safety.

Variations

1. Relay Race: Add a relay element where teams must pass the wheelbarrow to another team member at designated points.
2. Timed Races: Instead of a head-to-head race, teams race against the clock. The fastest time wins.

Enjoy your Wheel Barrow Race and may the fastest team win!
