Wheelbarrow Race

Employee Engagement
Team Building

The Wheelbarrow Race is a classic, high-energy team challenge where pairs compete to reach the finish line as one teammate walks on their hands while the other holds their legs from behind—just like a wheelbarrow! Fast-paced, fun, and slightly wacky, this game sparks laughter and camaraderie while promoting trust, balance, and coordination.


Why It Works for Corporate Team Building:

  • Encourages trust and communication between partners
  • Boosts energy, enthusiasm, and morale in large groups
  • Strengthens coordination and teamwork under pressure
  • Provides a playful break from routine that builds bonding
  • Creates lasting memories with its fun and light-hearted nature

How It Works:
Participants pair up in teams of two. One acts as the “wheelbarrow,” moving forward on their hands, while the other acts as the “driver,” holding their legs from behind. On a marked race track, multiple pairs race simultaneously to reach the finish line without falling or letting go. Facilitators may add twists like obstacle courses, relays, or timed heats to increase challenge and excitement.


Best Suited For:

  • Employee engagement carnivals and sports days
  • Offsites and retreats with large open spaces
  • Icebreaker sessions with lots of energy
  • Fun energizers for mid-event breaks
  • Informal bonding activities across teams
