Sports Day Fun

Today was our school’s sports day!  What fun!  We don’t have a very large school campus, so our school contracted with a local sports club to hold our sports day on their campus.  The benefits of this: the kids get to swim in a real pool and they get to eat a catered lunch in a “restaurant”.

So, here’s what we did for sport’s day:

1.  We played drip, drip, drop – like duck, duck, goose, but they got to pour water on each other’s heads!

2.  We played the pants relay race – the kids had to put on a big pair of jogging pants and run with them, then take off the pants and hand them to the next player.

3.  We went swimming in the big pool – which included changing 30 kids into and out of swim suites, and we only lost 1 pair of shorts and 1 tube of sunscreen!  Lots of fun, and yes, I got in the pool with them!

4.  We had a snack and played what letter starts with the letter ___ while we waited for our turn at the next game (the whole day ran slightly off schedule – Smile)

5.  We played rain relay race – students had a bucket with holes in it that they got to fill and hold over their heads while they ran to fill in the other bucket.

6.  We played soccer – my kids all time favorite game!

7.  We had lunch –

Course 1 - Moroccan salad plate (grated carrots, grated beets, potatoes, olives, cheese, fried egg plant, pasta, tuna, lettuce, eggs, etc. – delicious!)

Course 2 – Hamburgers & French Fries

Course 3 – Bananas & Chocolate Pudding

8.  We gave out goodie bags and went home, a little sunburnt and exhausted!

 

What does sports day (or field day) look like at your school?
