We do a "horse race" on our bus trips; I'll describe it & maybe you can adjust it to something with fabric? We have 6 bean bag horses; the caller assigns 6 captains(jockeys) & tells them the name of their horses (all goofy names) and passes a paper around & you sign up under what team you like. You can join more than one team but it costs $2 for each horse. The caller has the horse race written up just like how you hear the announcer at a horse race, the goofier names (you could use fabric or pattern designer spoofs). Then you throw the dice & you have to have a 1 or a 6 to start out of the gate. All the people on the bus are cheering for their horse to get out. Once the horse is out of the gate, each time the dice is thrown it moves that many seats back on the bus....it goes down one side & crosses over at the back & up the other side; the first one to get to the front seat opposite to where it started wins. The $$ is then divided between all the people who signed up under that horse. It can get kind of rowdy but it's a hoot.... all these "seniors" clapping & encouraging their horse (you have to watch some people they try to hold onto the horse instead of passing it each time)
