Fifth Graders Enjoy Onekama Elementary Field Day

June 2009

Soccer Relay - 2 teams, the students, wearing “goofy” shoes and sunglasses, take turns kicking the soccer ball around the cones.

Winds of Portage Lake – Students, each given a cup, form a circle, one is chosen to be in the middle, that person says, ”Let the winds of Portage Lake blow all those who have……” (the student finishes the sentence like ….have a bird …. have red on ….. have two sisters…live in Onekama etc.) Those students who “have a bird” must set their cup down and run to another place/cup while the person in the middle runs to a cup in the circle. The student without a cup is now in the middle

Egg Toss

Beach Towel Shuffle - 2 teams, each team gets on one beach towel and then lays the next one down and all players get on it, then they move the first beach towel ahead and get on it, and so forth. First team to the cone wins!

 Directions for Field Day Activities

Wet-N-Wild - 2 teams, 2 lines, soak sponge, pass it over the head and betw. legs, last person squeezes out the sponge in the pail and runs to the front of the line. When time is up, the team with the most water in their pail wins!
