Fancy Dude Relay

Players: 6-30
   
Equipment: 2 assortments of old clothes, with similar articles in them (one for each team)
   
Preparation: None
   
Similar to the "Suitcase Relay," this race requires dressing up, but instead of dressing yourself, you dress the team captain.

Divide the group into equal teams. Each team chooses a captain who stands about 20 or 25 feet (6 or 8 meters) away. At a signal, the first player on each team runs up to the captain and puts a piece of clothing on him or her, such as a hat, shoe, scarf, handbag, umbrella, etc. Then this player runs back and tags the second player on the team.

The second player runs to the captain, adds another article of clothing and runs back to tag the next player. The third player dresses the captain some more and so on, until each member of the team has added an item of clothing. You can imagine what the captain looks like after everyone on the team has had a chance to dress him or her up!

The team that finishes first wins.
