Are you ready to earn yourself a Squishmallow?
The Animal Race Challenge
This is a game you can play with two or more people! Participants can pretend to be 10 different types of animals and race each other, using each animal's particular movement style. For example: hop like a bunny, waddle like a duck, or crawl like a crab.
How to Play:
1. Mark your start line and finish line.
2. If possible, designate a "referee" who can confirm winners. When that person says "GO," start your race!
3. Keep track of who wins each race and what place they came in; whoever has the most points is the Overall Champion!
Point System:
If there are more than two racers competing, you can use a point system like this one for each round:
1st Place: 5 points
2nd Place: 4 points
3rd Place: 3 points
...and so on.
If you need a tie-breaker, just think of a new animal to race as and complete another round!
*Referees can choose to award bonus points to participants who do the "best" impression of the animal!
