Type/Purpose: Event/Activity, Obstacle Course/Race/Relay
This is an all-afternoon event that is very similar to a sports field day. Brainstorm ideas for running, relay, and field events for your “meet.”
Suggestions include:
Field events:
-
Marshmallow “put” – the one to “shot put” a marshmallow the farthest wins
-
Paper airplane throw
-
Frisbee toss into an old tire
-
Water balloon roll (roll till it breaks; winner is the farthest roll without breaking)
-
Straw javelin toss (farthest toss wins)
Relays/Running events:
-
Clothes relay (put on/take off)
-
Balloon over/under relay (over your head to under/between your legs to over your head and so forth)
-
Penny Drop (put a penny between your knees and walk 15 feet; drop the penny into a bottle or cup; run back, next person goes)
-
Pass the Fruit: fruit under chin; pass to next person with chins only; NO hands (orange or grapefruit)
-
Yard Dash: the one who can eat a long string of red licorice the fastest wins
Teachable Moment: Connections can be made to Philippians 3:12 and running the marathon of faith.
