Super Sized Sponge Relay

March 5, 2017

This is a companion post to A Well Played Field Day. Check it out for more great Field Day resources.

Setup

  • Fill large trash cans with water. This is the starting point.
  • Game begins with 5GAL buckets empty. Place the 5GAL buckets 10-15 yards away from large trash cans

Game Play

Divide players into 2 teams. Each team lines up behind a large trash can.

One person dips their sponge in a bucket, then runs down to the other end, trying to fill that empty bucket before the other team. After a quick squeeze into the 5GALLON bucket, they return the sponge to the next person in line. (make sure it’s a quick squeeze. Sometimes they want to squeeze every last drop out of the sponge which takes too long).
