Children piggy back a partner and run to the finish line. One child puts their hands on the ground, and the other child holds their feet as they walk along. Give each child a gumboot and see who can throw it the farthest. Of course you could substitute the gumboot for any item that fits into your theme, but the trick is to find something that is ungainly to throw. Have the children find a partner, and give each pair an egg to toss. They begin by standing about 1 metre apart, and one child tosses the egg to their partner.
The game continues, and the pair gets further and further apart, until eventually the egg breaks on catching. The winners are the kids who are farthest apart when their egg breaks.
You could allocate points for each game or race and have an overall winner, or make up certificates for place getters in each activity. Here are some great water games for children of all ages. Set up targets for children to throw water balloons at, and allocate points for every target hit. You could set up elaborate marks, or simply line up some tin cans along the fence. Have some water themed relay races where everybody gets soaked. A simple relay is to have teams transfer water from one bucket to another using a specific tool or method of transport.
Is this correct? Leap frog and red rover are all the rage here. When I was a kid it was all about cartwheels. My 8 year old has a dodgeball competition at school at the moment. Not really a fav with me but they will play it over and over. At home I've shown Miss M the game of hopscotch but it really gets played more like you were expecting Immy to play it. Our absolute favourite is a game of family Hide 'n' Seek. I can't wait to get Miss M hoola hooping and skipping, well she thinks she can already do it but clearly she can't - very funny!
Sometimes I need a good reminder of things I can do with them! We used to also play ring a ring a rosie, stuck in the mud and red rover cross over. Good fun. The list of children's games is intriguing. I do know and play several with my preschool students, but am unfamiliar with others on your list. Free printable included. So find some kids and an old bed sheet, and lets get outside!
