Step 1
Place a pineapple or other marker (a stick or a flag) at either end of the space you'll be using for the race. This race takes up a lot of space, so a yard is best.
Step 2
Divide kids into two teams and have each team stand in a single-file line behind one of the pineapples.
Step 3
To play, the first child in each line puts on the oven mitts and walks--sideways on all fours with their bodies facing up--from one pineapple to the other pineapple and back again. When each child returns to the first pineapple, she gives the oven mitts to the next child. The oven mitts are not required but will make the race more challenging.
