Field Day Activities
Balance Beam/BeanBag Walk. Students place a beanbag on their heads. How many times can a student walk the length of the balance beam without letting the beanbag fall? Each student who can walk the beam five times (up, back, up, back, and up again) is recognized during the award ceremony. Younger students might need to walk the beam fewer times.
Basketball Free Throws. Set a different line for students in each grade level. A student stands at the line and has five chances to get a ball in a hoop. Count the number of baskets each student makes. Students who score the most baskets are recognized at the award ceremony.
Follow up:
Bowling Bash. Set up 20 to 30 bowling pins. (Two-liter plastic soda bottles filled with an inch of sand make perfect bowling pins.) How many pins can students knock down in three rolls of the ball? Students in different grades might use different types of balls; for example, students in the primary grades might use a volleyball while older students use a softball. Mark with lime the location of the pins so they are reset in the same places each time. You might set up several games in a single location, each with a different monitor, so multiple students can bowl at the same time. Extra monitors might be on hand for pin set up. A net set up behind the pins makes the job of chasing down "bowling balls" a bit easier. Students with the highest number of pins knocked down are recognized at the awards ceremony.
