I haven't ever heard of this game. This sounds like fun. What kinds of things to you have them race to do though?

[jason]

You could have them do things like race from one side of the lake to the other. Race to a log, or dock.

I am such a competitive person that I could see me tipping over the canoe getting so excited and trying to win
