It's Field Day Time at Sandlapper! Let's really get moving today and try some of these fun activities in our first ever Remote Field Day.
Activity 1: Rock, Paper, Scissors Tag
You need an opponent. You need to stand in the middle of the playing area. You need to have a base located behind you.
Base 1 Player 1 Player 2 Base 2
Players play Rock, Paper, Scissors. Winner turns and runs toward base. Loser chases winner toward base. If Winner makes it to the base without getting tagged, s/he gets a point. If the Loser tags the winner before s/he touches base, Loser gets a point. Return to the middle and play again. First person to 5 is the winner!
Activity 2: Hockey Relay
You need an opponent or a timer. Grab something that can be a hockey stick (pool noodle, mop or broom with mom's permission only, etc.). Grab something that can be a ball or a puck. Place an object across the area to go around. Ready, Set, Go! Try to beat your opponent around the object and back to the start. If your opponent is the timer, go a second time and try to beat your score. How fast can you go?

You need a couple of people to play this game. One person is Mr. Wolf. The other people line up side by side at the start and say, "What Time Is It, Mr. Wolf?" Mr. Wolf says a time like 3 o'clock.
