Amazing Race Party Printables
Have you ever seen crafters who are bigger fans of The Amazing Race than we are? It's such a fun party idea for teenagers, kids or adults! We loved hosting our own Amazing Race party and then later we put on an Amazing Race party just for kids. We've even shared some tutorials with you to help you with your party ideas, including making a TAR clue box or a Pit Stop mat and fanny packs.
The key to any good DIY Amazing Race event, though, is the printables. You've got to have flags, arrows, and envelopes. And most of all, you've got to have clue cards! Our printables set contains SO MANY things that will make your Amazing Race party more authentic and fun, and makes the party planning easier.

I am sooooo looking forward to this AMAZING RACE kit, I know it will save me a ton a time and I appreciate your hard work to get it all put together!
-Love this mom of 4 !
I just ordered the clue card kit. I can't figure out how to get the kids from one challenge to another when they are on different teams. Do I have to make individual challenges for each team? Or do they all do the same challenges just different routes? I may have 20 kids and that's a lot and the party is taking place at one location, sheesh!
Navelle, traditionally all the teams complete the same challenges and follow the same route. Otherwise, it wouldn't be a very fair race :)
How many teams can you make with the package?
Do you just change the color? thank you, so cute!
Katy, you can have as many teams as you like. The colors of the clue cards won't ever change (Route Info is always blue, Road Block is always red, etc). Just make enough copies of each task's clues so that each team can have a copy.
Hi, I want to have a whole kit so I can have clues, envelopes and party favors etc. Does set #3 have everything, or do I need to get #1 and #2? Thank you
Lisa, you'll need to order all three sets to get everything. We split the items up so that people who just wanted some items could pick and choose.
Can you open the DOCX files with Google Docs? I just want to make sure before I buy them because I do not currently have Microsoft Word/Office.
Ethan, we've just tested and the DOCX files do work in Google Docs. The text boxes are a little trickier to edit than in Word/Office, but it is possible.
I am so looking forward to creating An Amazing Race for our after school care program. Thank you for the ideas which helped me to come up with a few of my own.
