The sack race or gunny sack race is a competitive game in which participants place both of their legs inside a sack or pillow case that reaches their waist or neck and jump forward from a starting point toward a finish line. The first person to cross the finish line is the winner of the race. In some cases the winner of these races is rewarded with a prize of some sort. [1]

Sack racing is traditionally seen as an activity for children. But people of any age can play in this challenging game. In schools, the sack race often takes place on Sports Day, alongside numerous other events such as the egg and spoon race. It is also a frequent pastime at fairs, and birthday parties. Sack races are also commonly seen at picnics.Sack Race is a one of major game in the Sinhala and Tamil New Year Sri Lanka. The game originated from a drunk farmer who climbed into his potato sack. Only to witness his tractor was rolling down a hill, in a spontaneous burst of desperation he hopped in the sac after the tractor. And thus the concept was born.

This game is for young children. It is played at birthday parties. There is a poster of a donkey. The donkey has no tail. There are numbered tails. The children line up. Each child gets a turn. 

For his turn, he puts on a blindfold. All the children make sure he cannot see! He is turned around one time. Then he tries to find the poster and pin his tail in the right place. Everyone laughs! It is funny to see a donkey with tails on its nose, back, and ears. Some tails are not even on the poster! The tail closest to the right spot wins!
