Big Foot Relay. Have the children take two shoeboxes with them. Magnetic Tape the hats onto the corners, then cut a one-inch-wide and four-inch long slit in to each one top. Have the contestants slip their feet into the slits in the boxes and race.

Name-It Ball. Have players form a circle. Present one player a rubber ball. That player selects a class, such as “candy bars.” He or she then bounces the ball to another player in the circle, who must get the ball, state an item from the category, such as “Snickers,” and keep the ball flying to the next player. If the player can’t name an item, holds the ball too long, or repeats an item, he or she is out.

Cross Step. Draw a ten-by-ten grid on the sidewalk or patio with chalk. Have each player stand on a different square. One at a time, each participant must move to a new square after crossing out the square she or he was formerly standing in. The trick is that players cannot step into a square that is occupied or crossed out. If a player cannot move to a different square, he or she is out. The game continues until one player is left.
Kill the Cockroach. Separate the actors into two teams. Line them up, one in front of the other and set an odd object in front of the first players in line. They must kick the object across the yard and the across the finish line to win a point for their team. Kick things like a pillow, empty can, a sock, and so on.
