2023 - 2024 St. John's School Field Day

The schedule for the day is:
8:00 - 8:15am Find your station and make sure that it is set up and that you understand how it will run. (I will send you a document with instructions next week.)
(8 - 8:30am Students in classrooms getting ready for the activities.)
8:30am - 11:15am FIELD DAY!!! (There are 11 stations. Each station will last 15 minutes. I will use the megaphone to indicate station switching.) We will be using the black top area for the water stations, the fields, and playground
11:15am - 12:45pm Clean up and Change for lunch and ice cream/in class activities

We have you each assigned to lead with a station.
Please plan on arriving at school between 8:00 - 8:15 am so that we will have plenty of time before the first group comes to you.

You will need to sign in when you arrive & when you leave through the office.
If you are planning on taking your child/ren home with you at the end of the day, please sign them out in the office and tell your child/ren’s teachers.
Please pack a lunch unless you want a hot dog and chips, water bottle, chair, hat, sunscreen, bug spray, camera, etc for yourself. All stations are outside.

If you have any questions, please email me dempseyg@sjshollywood.org.

8:00am - 1:00pm
Fire Drill on Blacktop
Have each team line up in a single-file line behind a dot. The first person from each group starts with an empty cup. They run to the trash can full of water, fill up their cup and bring it back to their team. Each relay team must pass the full cup down the line as fast as possible, trying not to spill any water. The last person empties the cup of water into their bucket, runs the empty cup back to the trash can full of water, fills it and starts the cup moving again. Teams are trying to fill their buckets first. Variation: after the bucket is full, dump it on the winning team! Reverse fire drill, empty the bucket one cup at a time.

Fishing Expedition
Students line up at the start cones. One at a time, a student from each line goes to the baby pool (ocean) and fishes for a sea creature. Once each team has fished from the ocean, add up the points from their catch. The team with the most points wins.

Squirt Beach Ball on Blacktop
Have each team divide in half and make a line behind one of the buckets full of water. One person (per line) at a time will fill up their water gun & shoot the water at the beach ball to make it move toward their opponent. (Two lines will be shooting at the same beach ball from opposite directions, trying to get it to move away from them.) Students switch after the water gun is drained and the next student repeats. The group that gets their beach ball past their opponent’s bucket wins. Variation: have larger teams and fewer balls, do an elimination game for best competitors.

After they toss the poly spot they will go get it and hand it to the next person in line. Each team counts how many times their team can get the poly spot into the hoop After everyone has gone 5 times the game is over. Variation - toss with your back turned to the hoops and over your head

All My Neighbors
Everyone stands in a circle and one person goes in to the middle. The person in the middle calls out a fact about themselves using this format “All of my neighbors have a dog.” Everyone who has a dog (that statement applies to them) has to run to a new dot. The person in the middle must try to find a dot to stand on. Students cannot go to the dot directly next to them. The person who cannot find the dot, gets to be in the middle and say a fact about themselves. This game just continues on. Watch for students moving safely.
