Instructions

Demonstrate how to unpack and pack a sleeping bag.
Split into teams of equal numbers where possible.
Number each member in the team (If teams are uneven in numbers then some team members can be given additional numbers)
Give each team a bag already packed.
On the whistle, number one in each team runs to the bag and unpacks and packs it and leaves it in original place, then tags number two in the team who repeats the task and tags the next member. When each team member has completed the task the team sit down.
First team to all complete the task wins.

Allow at least a minute per member in the team!

Variation
Time each team and repeat activity at later date to see if the time can be improved.
Ask members to get into and then out of bag if time allows.
