Field Day

Rex had field day at his school this past Friday. He had a blast playing the games. I really liked the way the games were organized. Children in grades K-2 played in the morning from 9:30-11:00. The children were divided into groups of two and then paired up with a fifth grade helper. The helper chaperoned and assisted the participants as they moved from station to station. There was no required rotation. The children could freely choose which games and stations they wanted to visit. Each station was set up with two lanes so that the pairs could line up opposite each other and compete against their partner…so it was still competitive, but low pressure. Rex’s favorite game was some race involving water (he did this before I got there to take pictures), but I know he really had fun with the potato sack race because he went to that station twice!
