You will need:
- a large
playspace out of doors
- buckets of water
- a start and finish
line
What to do:
- encourage
children to fill their buckets with water
- line up on the
start line
- on the command,
"Go!" they are to walk as quickly as possible to the finish
line and try not to spill any water
- emphasis of game
is on bettering ones own ability not someone else's
Variation:
- children could race with a friend helping
them to carry the water
- children could have a relay race with
the water in the bucket
- children could race to fill a small wading
pool with buckets of water - just the sheer fact that it is a race is
enough to get the children excited! - they do not need to win - just to
hurry and they love it!
