Wrap-the-mummy relay Mark start and finish lines 20 feet apart. Line up kids in pairs at the start line.
Give each pair a roll of toilet paper. One kid wraps the other with the paper (legs together, around each arm, up to the neck) until roll is empty.
Both kids hop to the finish line, where the "mummy" breaks out of his wrapping and uses a new roll of paper to wrap his partner. They both hop back to the start line. The fastest pair wins.
