What a great idea! For the Amazing Race theme, what sort of clues were the teams given? Did they have to solve a puzzle or find their next stop in the race. Any info you have would be great!!

I did a fun run that was based around the tv show, the amazing race. The kids were split into teams. Maps were provided and there were clues at each checkpoint. It was really great except one team grabbed another team's clue because each team went to the checkpoints in a different order so they wouldnt just be following each other around.... make sure they listen when you are giving instructions.

We're doing our 2nd fun run and we need a catchy theme to build our fundraiser around. Our school is Benignus Elementary and our mascot is the leopards, "Ben" and "Gus" are the mascots. We're open to any range of ideas, we had considered a carnival theme, we can use walk, run or whatever we're very open but we need some help and after reviewing these boards I know you guys can save us with some inspiration. We did leveled prizes last year and that proved very successful but we're having a hard time coming up with great prizes that aren't too costly and are still something people want to have.
