Virtual Field Day
-UPDATE- I posted this last year, but made a couple of updates and changes to the original post. I hope you find the resources and template to be helpful! 😄
Field day is finally here, and it doesn’t look anything like I imagined it would when I started rough drafting ideas in February.
I liked the idea of OPEN’s national field day and included one of their games, but we typically hold ours at the end of May, so I thought it was a little early for us. I also like being different and being able to create my own resources. 😎
The Overview
When planning our field day I had 2 major things in mind:
1. Make it for families:
-Covid-19 has put a lot of stress on everyone and I wanted a day where everyone could spend time together, have fun, and relax
2. Games with minimal equipment:
-I didn’t want anyone to have to go out and buy anything for a game. I tried to list as many alternatives for equipment as I could think of
The Set-Up
-Students and families can choose from 20 different games and activities
-Everyone can choose to keep score or just play for fun
Link To Virtual Field Day
-This is created in google slides which means you can make any changes that you want
-In order to make changes you have to make your own copy first! Unfortunately, I can’t give you access to my hard copy otherwise it will mess everything up
-With this template, you can easily swap out any game/activity that you would like.
-If you’re looking for more social distant game ideas you can find them here:
