Equipment: Big beach ball , small beach ball , and jump ropes. I bought a different one to try to go a little cheaper and it popped during my field day event. Need to spice this up a bit?

This is such an interesting list of outdoor activities for kids. I am sure kids would love it, thanks for sharing these ideas! About Me Teaching Resources and Printables!
Content Teaching Ideas Get Active. What is the most anticipated event of the school year? Did school close for the rest of the year like us? In my experience, these are the relays that the kids enjoyed and were successful!
Activity 1: Mummy Relay When my students saw all the toilet paper, they were intrigued right away! They will both get 1 roll of toilet paper. On the GO signal, that student stands with arms stretched out and legs spread apart. When the wrapping is done, the student passes the toilet paper to the next student in line, who wraps the other leg.
The third student wraps an arm and the fourth student wraps the other arm. The winning team is the first team to use up its roll of toilet paper. Activity 2: Soccer Relay Equipment: 2 soccer balls and 2 goals Description Divide the class into 2 groups. In this relay, the first person dribbles the soccer ball through a set of cones and traps it on a ploy spot.
The first team to complete the relay is a winner! Description On the GO signal to begin the first student in each line will run down to get a pizza box then run back and hand the box off to the next student.
The second student in the line will carry the pizza box down and pick up another box then run or walk fast and hand the pizza boxes to the next person. This will continue until everyone has had a chance! Activity 4: Baton Race Equipment: Batons and cones Description Divide the class into 2 equal groups for this speed relay. On the GO signal, the first player runs with the baton all the way down to the cone and back.
When returning, the runner passes the baton to the next person, who then begins to run! When the runner is done taking their turn, they need to sit down. The first team to have everyone sitting down is the winner! Activity 5: Yard Dash Equipment: Stopwatches and cones Description Measure out yard on your playing field and mark it off with cones.
The kids will all line up on the line and run as fast as they can from one line to the other line. The person that gets their first wins! One person will have their hands on the ground and the other person will be standing up holding their legs.
On the GO signal, the person who is on the ground will be moving their hands and the person who has their feet will be moving their feet to try to get to the finish line before the other groups!
One person should have it on their left leg and the other person should have it on their right leg. The groups are trying to make it to the finish line before the other groups! If they fall, they should just get back up and keep going!
Inflate the balloons, so each is roughly the same size. On the GO signal, the first member of the team carries a balloon to the chair, drops the balloon on the chair, and then sits on the balloon until it pops.
When the balloon pops, the student runs back to his or her team and tags the next person in line. The relay continues until the last student in each team has made it back to the line. The first team to finish wins. Activity 9: Non-Stop Hoop Pass This activity is great for a relay and it also works on team-building skills!
Equipment: 10 Hula Hoops Description This activity is performed by four teams as a relay race. A pile of hula hoops is placed at the feet of the first players in each line. I teach my students to unscrew the cap and push the water gun down into the pool of water, so it starts to fill up before they grab another one off the bottom of the pool. They screw closed the new gun and continue play. Seems to work better with the wind. Your email address will not be published.

ROCK in ! What is Physical Education? Shannon Jarvis Irwin. Add about 3 extra feet to roll the ends in later and cut away the excess. Lay out the pool noodles to full desired length of your slip-n-slide, leaving the extra footage evenly on each end to roll later.
Secure the noodles end to end to create one really long noodle by using duct tape. Secure the noodle to the plastic sheeting with your glue gun or by using duct tape about every 3 ft. Roll the long noodle inward. Make sure you roll it in at least 2 feet. Use glue gun or duct tape to secure about every 3 ft. Repeat on the other side Tips: Seek out extra hands to help roll the noodle, keep the sheeting tight around the noodle, and remeber the more your roll, the narrower your slip-n-slide will be.
Repeat the same process at each end of your slip-n-slide. When finished, it should look like a shallow pool. Seal and secure the entire slip-n-slide by using duct tape. Completely cover the inside perimeter of the slip-n-slide on the seams. Make sure you use duct tape all the way around the slip-n-slide, its important not to leave a gap where water can get in. Flip it upside down— this is the most important step! It took me years to figure that tip out, but by doing so, you should be able to get a couple years use out of the same slide.
Add water, maybe a little baby oil, and let the fun begin! Thank you. How do you play Splash-A-Mole? What are the rules for your Splash A Mole? I would like to try it.
