Set up a ramp
to roll potatoes down. Use a long stacking table with the legs of one end
collapsed. Let everyone choose a potato. Set these up at the start line at
the top of the ramp. At a signal from the leader, the racers let their
spuds go. The first one over the finish line wins. Improvise
different rules: the straightest rolling spud wins; the fastest wins; the
one that rolls the farthest wins; the funniest roll wins. |
