Radiator Springs Rally Race
This game will get all of your guests geared up for a little fun competition! Have your guests separate into teams. Depending on how many guests there are you can do two or more teams. Give each team a name of one of the characters from the cartoon. For example, The Mean McQueen's, The Towing Mater's, or The Rockin' Doc's.
Set up an obstacle course in an open play area like a backyard. Some good items to use are old tires to jump through, plastic cones to run around, small boxes to jump over, and hanging hula hoops from a tree to climb through.You will need a timer to keep track of each team's race time. Have the first team line up at the beginning of the course.
When the race begins have one member of the team start the race and you will start the timer. When one person is done they will tag a team member's hand and that player will go through the course. Once their team is done stop the timer and record the team's time. Once every team has had a turn, compare times and the team with the best time wins a prize

Car Decorating
This activity will get the creative juices flowing in your guests and also act as a take home favor. You will need foam car cutouts and foam markers. Or, if you prefer to utilize paint you can purchase wooden car shaped cutouts and paint. You can usually find either types of the cutouts at your local craft stores.
You can also print out a plain car shape and use it as a guide to cut out your own car shaped using different colors of foam sheets. Allow each guest to create and decorate their very own car. They can name them and even create a story behind them and share their awesome creations with one another once they are done.

Luigi's Tire Toss
You will need an old tire and several bean bags for this game. Place the tire flat on the ground and have the players stand in a line about five feet from the tire. Give the first person in line three bean bags. They will get a chance to toss the bean bags and make it into the tire.

Mater's Towing
You will need nylon rope (can usually be found at a dollar store) and two tires. Have the guests separate into two groups. You will need to cut the rope and tie one end of the rope around a tire, make sure it is secure and won't come loose. Do the same using another piece for the other tire.
Have the guests separate into teams. Designate a start and finish line for the players. Place the tires on the start line. The players will all grab a piece of their teams rope and get ready to start their towing. The object of the game is for each team to tow the tire by pulling together to get their tire across the play area as fast as they and beat the other team.
Another option for this game is to use an inflatable pool tire (found in the pool sections at chain stores) and tie the rope to one handle. Then, have one teammate lie on the tire and tow them across to the finish line. The winning team gets a prize.

Red Light, Green Light
Let's face it, Lightning McQueen had a very hard time listening to the rules. This game gives all of the players the opportunity to steps into his...wheels. Take a volunteer for who will be play Doc Hudson and call the lights. The rest of the players must go to the other side of the play area. Have those players stand side by side facing Doc.
Doc will begin the game by turning his back to the McQueen's and shouting "Green Light". The players will then run toward Doc. Doc with then turn around while saying "Red light". The McQueen's must then immediately come to a stop. The last person to stop is out of the game and must go sit down. Doc will continue to call the lights as often as he wants until someone can tag him. The person that tags him wins the game and switches places with Doc. The game starts back over and continues for until everyone has played Doc or is ready to move on to the next game.

This is a cute activity to get the guests using their creative little minds. You will need plain paper plates, multiple colors of pipe cleaners, markers, and scissors. Give each person a plate and have the remaining supplies available in the center of the table. They can now produce their own hubcap to take home with them.

The ramp will be judged by design, distance the car continues to roll and speed. You will need a timer for measuring speed.

Spray paint the boxes in different colors and attach the plates, two on each side of the box. These are the tires on the car you are creating. On the side of each car you will need to paint a number.
