The kindergartners and I always look forward to this exciting (and exhausting!) event. We spend the entire day outside competing in lots of fun events that Mr. C has planned. Thank you to Joy, Heidi, and Heather, the kindergarten parents that joined us for the day! The children are always so proud to have someone come to support them and I appreciate the extra help!
The first event of the day was the 3-legged race.
Emily and Gavin (below) were one of the winning kindergarten pairs!
Aaron and Kylynn were the other.
Next was the sack race!
Then each class split in two groups to travel around to the different events.
Some of the events included:
Football Kick
Softball Throw
50 yd dash
100 yard dash
Shuttle Run
Jump Roping...
Long Jump...
An obstacle course where children had to jump rope, do a summer sault, crawl through a tunnel, spin around a bat 5 times, then throw a tennis ball into the bucket...
A barrel race...
After all of those events, we took a break for lunch. The afternoon was filled with team (class) competitions such as Tug-of-War...
The Fireman Relay where children fill a bucket (with holes!) in a swimming pool and bring it back to their classmates who must pass it from person to person until it reaches a big bucket at the end of the line...
and Flag tag...
Once all of the events are completed, we meet in the gym for an awards ceremony where the top finishers in each event receive ribbons! The Kindergartners are grouped with 1st grade and 2nd grade so any ribbons for us are quite impressive :)
