WATER RELAY GAME

Relays are a great way to engage large groups of kids

 in outdoor games. They encourage teamwork and

 participation by everyone. During the summer, relays

 that involve water can help keep kids cool and

avoid heat exhaustion.

Fill the Bottle

Set up number of teams possibly by number of people

willing to get wet. On each team, one person lays on

 ground while holding a 20-oz plastic pop bottle on

 their forehead. Teammates run to bucket to fill up their

4-oz cup then they attempt to pour it into teammates

 pop bottle while standing over head. Then the next

 teammate will do the same until 20-oz bottle is filled.

Once the 20-oz bottle is filled, the bottle person

should run to the finish line without spilling.

on this activity, participants should be organized into

 teams of about five kids each. Each team needs two

 large buckets and each team member will need

one small cup. These cups should be the same size

 for all participants. Place one bucket beside the

starting lineup for each team. Each team should

 place its other bucket along a designated "bucket line"

 several yards away. The goal is for each team to

successfully transfer the water from the bucket-line

container into the starting-line bucket.

Leaky Cup Relay

This game is ideal for large teams. Each team receives

 two buckets. Begin by having one team bucket filled

with water (not too heavy), several yards away from

 the starting line (similar to the original set-up for

 Bucket Brigade, but you may want start/bucket lines

 to be closer together). Leave the empty bucket

 at the starting line.
