A race track roughly 20-30m long works well for casual play.

HOW TO PLAY
1

Pair up and stand side by side; tie the inside ankles of each pair together.

2

Pairs put their arms around each other's waists or shoulders for balance.

3

On the signal, pairs move toward the finish line, coordinating their tied legs together.

4

Falling doesn't disqualify a pair, but both must get up before continuing.

5

The first pair to cross the finish line still tied together wins.
