You will need:
- a large
play space (preferrably outdoors)
on a warm, sunny day
- a start line and
a finish line
- a plastic cup
for each team
- 2 plastic buckets
for each team
What to do:
- tell children
that they are going to race to see which team can get the most water from
their first bucket into their second bucket
- show children
how to fill their cups with the water in the bucket
- demonstrate walking
quickly from one bucket tothe other and pouring the water into the second
bucket
- children may take
as much or as little water as they like on each trip
- game ends when
one group has comletely transferred all their water from one bucket to
the other
- at that point,
measure both of the buckets of water to see which group got the most water
in their bucket, the fast group or the slow group
- declare a winner
by the group with the highest level of water in their bucket
