The Hints Club

Big Foot Relay. Have the children fetch two shoeboxes with them. Magnetic Tape the lids onto the boxes, then cut a one-inch-wide and four-inch long slit in every top. Have the contestants slip their feet into the slits in the boxes and race.

Name-It Ball. Have players form a circle. Grant 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 catch the ball, say 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.
Kill the Cockroach. Carve Up the players into 2 teams. Line them up, one in front of the other and set an odd object in front of the first players in line. They must kick the object across the yard and the across the finish line to win a point for their team. Kick things like a pillow, empty can, a sock, and so on.
