This is a relay race that involves competing teams attempting to pass a soft ball to each team member down the line. The object of this game is to pass the ball to each member of your team without using your hands. The easiest and most fun method to accomplish this is by gripping the ball under your chin and passing it onto the next teammate. The race finishes after the ball successfully passes from the first to the last team member without dropping it onto the floor.
This game is usually always a favorite among students. This game is composed of two competing teams, starting on opposite ends of the field. The purpose of this game is to have your entire team pass from the starting line to the other end without touching the ground. Students can use mats, pads and flat plastic discs to step on to create a path for the team to reach the finish line before the other team. Members who touch the ground must go back to their designated starting line and start over again. This is a fun an exciting game that teaches leadership and teamwork.
To set up this game, you need a series of hula hoops (usually two or three will suffice) and beanbags. Plant the hula hoops at distance intervals of 10 feet from the tossing line. Both teams are only permitted behind the tossing line and each team member is allowed three beanbag tosses, until the next teammate goes. Students can earn four points for the furthest hula hoop, three for the second and two for the closest one. Allow one point for a team's beanbag that lands on the edge of the hula hoop. Play for a set time limit or to a highest score.
Create two volleyball teams, one comprised of students and the other of teachers. The teams do not have to be even, the point of this type of school field game is mainly for entertainment purposes. The student volleyball team can even contain all of the students engaging in your school's field day, depending upon how many students you have. To even the odds, teachers should not play at the maximum potential or play on their knees to make the games more interesting and enjoyable for the children.
