Sports Day For School needs ideas...

Apr 23, 2009

My collegues and I were talking about having a Sports Day in June. We have no PE teacher so I decided I would take this project on. We have approx 150 stduents in grades PRE- K through 4. We have one classroom per grade level and 2 teachers in each class (Teacher + Asst.). My questions are: What are great activities that all grades would like? How should I set it up? (I was thinking a circut where classes take turns playing against each other in teams) We have a large gym, but a small budget for the activites. We have no gym equiment either. What are low budget ideas? How about food/refreshments? Thanx for anyy suggestions!

cybraryman@hotmail.com Yes, you can have a fun time with your Sports Day which is very similar to a field day. Setting up stations is the way to go. You can have standing broad jump, frisbee throw and similar activities. On the Physical Education page on my website I have a section on field days that have good suggested activities.

I am concerned that you do not...See More

Just a suggestion of what you can do is creating a Mini Olympic Games. This does not have to use a lot of equipment. Each of the classes can choose a country to be and create different pictures or crafts that can be made with crayons and paper that they will wear during the events. If you only have one class for each grade level then a good idea is to break countries up into age groups. For example the teams will have four 4th graders, four 3rd graders, etc. Of course you can obviously make the sizes however you see fit.

The games can be modified so you don’t have to use a lot of equipment. For example, you can have a relay race that consists of going through and obstacle like a playground. You can have games for the younger children where they are carrying their favorite stuffed animal across a distance holding it on their heads. The best thing I can offer since I don’t see everything that you have at your hands reach is be as creative as possible that is enjoyable for the students. You can have a long jump competition where they are jumping into a sand pit at the playground if you have that.

I could go on for days with ideas. But get with your colleagues and see what you do have and then be as creative as you want with what you have or can get. Just think of the stuff you do have and create games around kicking, throwing, shooting, running, etc.

Hopefully this might have helped and best of luck to you.
