The field is set up like a carnival, with stations all
over the playground. Students may go to any station they want. Teachers bring their students to the area directed and
release them. When their time is up,
students will return to their assigned spot and return to class with their
teacher. Classroom teachers must stay outside in their
assigned area and watch for behavior problems.
Students in grades 2-5 will need to pair up with a partner and
travel with that partner for the entire time. Some events require a
partner. Students can only do each event one time.
K-1 Students will be divided in to groups of 4. 5th grade
students will be assigned to classrooms to lead the groups of four around to the
various stations.
There will be a concession. Popsicle's will be sold for
25 cents. Students may visit the concession any time during their scheduled
time. K-1 concession money should be added to their card so they will
not have to carry money around with them. 50 cents is all they will need.
(K-1 Teachers are to collect the money, write the amount on the card and
turn the money into the concession stand).
We use high school students to run the stations. We do
not have much luck getting parent volunteers and this field day requires at
least 30 workers or more if possible.
NOTE: Please have appropriate sized equipment available at each station so all ages can perform the station activity.
