Equipment: 1 plastic cup and 1 water bottle for each team, a large bin
of water.
Each team is given a plastic cup.
This is used to fill a plastic bottle at the end of each Tunnel.
Each team stands in line one behind the other feet apart forming a
tunnel under their legs. The player standing first in line picks up the
cup runs to the bin, fills the cup with water, runs back and
passes it back through the Tunnel. The person last in line pours the
water into the bottle ,runs to the bin and fills the cup and runs to
the front of the line and passes it back through the
Tunnel This
continues until all the players have been to the front of the
line twice. The leader of the team then runs and puts the cup in
the bin.
The game stops.
The team with the most water in a bottle wins.

C Flying Hoops

stools.
Each team stands behind the line and tries to ring the cone
with the rings or quoits and the stool with the hoola hoops. Each
member throws in turn a hoop/ring/quoit. 2 points are given for each
ring or quoit that rings the cone and 1 point is given for each hoop on
the stool. The marks are added after each team has competed as
the rings/hoops are still in place. Team with most points
wins.

D. Egg & Spoon Race
Wellie Toss (children take turns to throw the wellies into the bin).



E. Chin Race
Equipment : tennis ball.
Children run from A to B with a tennis ball tucked under their chins.

Ball Race
Equipment : a ball for each child
Children run from A to B with a ball held between their knees.

F. Stone, Bridge, Tree
Children work in groups of four and adopt the role of a runner, a stone(crouched down), a bridge (standing legs wide apart) and a tree (standing hands raised). The runner jumps over the stone, crawls under the bridge, runs around the tree and returns to take the place of the stone, who as the next runner repeats all three activities. The game continues until all team members have had a turn at being the runner. Children sit on ground when they are finished. The first team to sit down wins.

G. Crab Soccer
Two teams play against each other. The game is played as for soccer but players must play while lying back on their hands and feet, thus moving like crabs.
