Summer time races/games

1.  Water race - a bowl of water at one end, a empty glass at the other. Each team has a spoon and they do a relay to see who can get the most water in the glass within a specific time you decide.  You can also use a paper cup that has a small hole in the middle. They have to get to the other side before they lose the water.

2. Seed race - as above but use seeds or dry beans

3. Sponge race - 1 person at one end with a sponge and bowl of water, 1 person in the middle of the race line, a glass at the end. The first person dips the sponge in the water and runs to the next person, who takes the sponge and runs to the glass and squeezes the water in the glass. Other team members replace the ones who went already.

Twist on game - the first person runs to the 2nd person and squeezes the water ontop of the person, that person dips her/his sponge in water and runs to the next person and does the same. This keeps going till everyone is wet.

4. Cereal Box bowling - make a pyramid of empty cereal boxes. They can roll a ball to know out the boxes.

5. They can throw wet sponges at the boxes-make targets on each box with a number on each box. They can keep a tally of what box they hit and the number on it. The one with the highest tally wins.

6. Pringle can plastic tops or other plastic tops- Give the kids shoe boxes to decorate and then toss the tops into the boxes.
