While Field Day is a time for children to get physical exercise, it can also serve as a chance to exercise their minds. At the beginning of each event, have students figure out a simple problem or puzzle related to the upcoming activity. For instance, they could solve a simple math problem before starting the 50-yard dash. The question could be, “When Suzy crossed the finish line, Janie was five yards behind her. How far had Janie run?” The answer is 45 yards. When the child completes the problem or puzzle, give him or her a small gift, such as a “Field Day: Be The Best You Can Be” Sticker or Camouflage Dog Tag.
