SUN CHASING GAME
Here is a fun game for a hot day.  To play the game, you will need a small spray water bottle.

• Choose one child to be the sun.  Give her the water bottle.
• Have the sun stand in the middle of the yard, with the other children around her.
• When you say “start”, the sun chases the other children.
• If she catches a child, she squirts them with her water spray.
• The sprayed child then becomes the sun and started chasing the other children.
   

WATER RELAY GAME
You will need some large soup spoons and some water for this game.

• Divide your children into two groups.
• Have the groups form two lines.
• The first child in each group is given a soup spoon.
• Each child fills their spoon with water from a common pan of water.
• When you say “Go” the two children with water spoons, walk, or run across the lawn and pour the water from their spoon into a glass measuring cup.
• Then they run back and give their spoon to the first child in their group’s line.
• Now, these two children each fill their spoons and run across to their team’s measuring cup.
• The game continues, until each child has had a turn.
• The winning team is the team with the most water in their team’s measuring cup.
