Planning a sports day

[Dynamicnanny]

Do any of you do activities like sports days in the summer - my eldest charge is having sports day next week and my middle charge was all excited until she realised she wouldn't be participating - she's in the nursery section of the school.

So I thought I'd throw a sports day for her nursery class one morning - there are only 9 of them, plus a couple of the neighbours and friends with small children.

Any words of advice, ideas etc

ELC sell a sports day kit - bean bags, eggs and spoons, sacks etc - it's fab. We have a mini sports day when we are on holiday with the Maureenmlove's in Scotland! Kids love it.

Another game to play is flap the fish with a flip flop - cut out paper fish and the rest is obvious!

What fun! I used to do a sports day type thing with my mindees in the summer. I bought a sports day kit from Woolies, but there's no need really. Depends what you want to do.

You could do potato and spoon, simply skipping race and running race. Maybe skipping through a hoop, if you have any. Go to the sorting offce or tap up your postie for some post bags for a sack race. The list is endless really.

Heyyyy! We are one!

So I'm not of my mind - Just need to do invitations now

I was thinking of

Welly boot throw
Pillow case race (sack race)
Paper plate throw (discus)
Egg and spoon race - (but might do potatoes)
Throw straws (javalin)
Relay race
Race
Balancing things on their head

Sounds fab! Rather than straws for javelins, you could roll up whole newspapers and tape them up. Might give it a bit more welly, than a straw, but equally as safe!
