Great Ideas to Keep the Youngsters Entertained for Weeks

Big Foot Relay. Have the children take 2 shoeboxes with them. Magnetic Tape the lids onto the corners, then cut a one-inch-wide and four-inch long slit in each top. Have the contestants slip their feet into the slits in the boxes and race.
Name-It Ball. Have players form a circle. Give 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 get the ball, state an item from the category, such as “Snickers,” and keep the ball moving 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.
Pick Pocket Tag. Put a strip of cloth in each player’s back pocket. Have the players try to grab each other’s strips without having their own strip taken. The player with the most cloth strips wins the game.
Blind Snakes. Set up a amount of sprinklers in between a starting line and a finish line. Have the children try to run from one end to the other without getting sprayed. Have one of the kids control the faucet, turning it on and off at random. Present ribbons to the tikes who play the longest without getting wet.
