Dung beetle races sounds great. I have heard about various games which hurt but kids still play for the sake of kick they get out of such games. We have number of such games, for instance one of these is called "seven stones" played with tennis ball. Once we break the pile of seven stones the race begins as whom we hit with the ball. And trust me some of those hits are so hard that leave us numb.
