I know that those of us here in Atlanta are having a really difficult time with this heat. So you are asking yourself, what can you do to have a great time with your children? Here's my suggestion: a Sponge and Bucket Race!
Object of the Game:Move water from one bucket to another using a sponge
Variations of the Game:
Use plastic bowls or cups in lieu of sponges
Game Play:
Give each team one bowl of water, an empty bowl and a sponge.
Say, "Ready, set, go!" and instruct the students to
- Fill the sponge with water
- Run to the empty bowl
-Squeeze water into it.
How do you know who wins?
The first child to transfer the water from one bowl to the other wins!
Math Variation:
Time the event and calculate the difference in time for the students who come in at first, second and third place!
