Devondaisy Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 I'm just wondering if any of you have a pre-school sports day? What sort of races do you have? And do you give out prizes, medals or certificates and who to - just the winners or to everyone? Quote
Fredbear Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Yes we do, ours is combined with a picnic in our local park. Parent/carers are all invited, we provide snack for the children, and we give lots of cheers, claps and smiley faces no prizes. Quote
Fredbear Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 Sorry forgot to add we do the egg and spoon, sack race, obstacle race, running race, play with the parachute, and a great big bag full of balls, bean bags, catchers, frisbees etc. Quote
Guest Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 We are considering doing a sports day this year so will be very interested in all your replies. thank you Quote
Guest rainyjaney Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 We do egg and spoon and running races. Chalk lines on playground so they each have own lane to run in. All children get a certificate for taking part - various free sites on internet which can be used to knock up something special.Some years the children all get a medal too, if we've been able to find any cheap party bag type medals.Haven't done it with parents present so far as often easier to manage with no parents around-I know that sounda quite unwelcoming but all parents will be invited to party the foolowing week!!

Guest Posted June 20, 2011 Posted June 20, 2011 hi, we changed ours last year from races to a kind of carousel of activities, wwe had parachute games, hoopla, musical statues, a couple of others. Groups of about 10 and they moved around with the member of staff, parents loved it and we did finish with a race for the 2's and 3/4's and parents race. It was also a bring a teddy sports day and it was great! No tears about not winning so everyone was less stressed out All the children got a certificate and cheap medal, they still talk about it now too! Quote
Guest Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 we do obstacle race, balance and potatoe and spoon race lots of laughs and we do parent races too - dress up races , balloons too Quote
thumperrabbit Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 yes we do one, parents are invited as it's always our last day of term. obstacle race, flat race, egg and spoon everyone has a certificate at the end, and an ice lolly if it's warm. Quote
Bigsue Posted June 21, 2011 Posted June 21, 2011 We do a sack race but with old pillowcases and a wellie boot relay, also their favourite is the water fill, each filling a cup and running to a big jug to fill it up! simples but fun We cant wait for ours parents really get involved and its nice and personal as at the end we do a presentation for each child and they get a medal. There are often tears for parents as its combined as a lever morning. This uear we have been invited to our local school for lunch and we are having a picnic with the reception class! and the children September teacher. Sue Quote
