Field Day Challenge Events -

Teams of four will be competing in four different competitions to earn points.  The team with the most points at the end wins!  Here a sneak peek at the Field Day Challenge events:

 

Bat Sonar

Everyone has played Marco Polo, but instead of yelling “Marco.....Polo”, we yell “Bat.....Sonar”.   Will you be able to be blindfolded, try to find your teammates, and get the points for your team?

 

The Great Jungle Fire

If you can run and hop like a exotic animal, you might just be good at this game.  As you and your group are running like animals you will also be carrying a wet sponge along the way and squeezing it on you at the end to put out the “fire”.

 

Fish out of Water

Have you ever heard of dodge ball? This is just like it, but better because you are throwing wet sponges at each other instead!  When you hit someone from the other team they are out, if your team wins you will get points and are one step closer to winning it all!

 

4 Legged Race

Get ready for complete insanity!  Your team will be running across the field with the legs of three blindfolded people tied together and one person leading the way.  This takes strategy, skill, and teamwork! Can you do it?
