Big Foot Relay. Have the children get two shoeboxes with them. Tape the lids onto the boxes, then cut a one-inch-wide and four-inch long slit in to each one top. Have the contestants slip their feet into the slits in the boxes and race.

Name-It Ball. Have players form a circle. Grant one player a rubber ball. That player selects a category, such as “candy bars.” He or she then bounces the ball to another player in the circle, who must catch the ball, put forward an item from the category, such as “Snickers,” and keep the ball traveling to the next player. If the player can’t name an item, holds the ball too long, or repeats an item, he or she is out.
Blind Walk. Produce an obstruction path from one end of the yard to the other. Line up the contestants and let them have a solid look at the path. One at a time, blindfold the kids and have them walk the path without looking. Note each player’s time on the scoreboard.
Kill the Cockroach. Split the role players into 2 teams. Line them up, one in front of the other and set an odd object in front of the first players in line. They must kick the object crossways the yard and the across the end line to win a point for their team. Kick things like a pillow, empty can, a sock, and so on.
