Field Day Fun – Chicken Relay

Here is another fun field day game for kids! Divide students into teams and give everyone on the team a tennis ball. The tennis balls represent chicken eggs. When the relay begins, the first student on each team puts the “chicken egg” between his/her knees and waddles to a box that has been set up a fixed distance away. The student must get close enough to the box so when he/she releases their knees, the ball falls into the box, which represents the chicken’s nest. The student runs back to the team and tags the next person in line, who then picks up the next egg and waddles off to deposit it in the nest. The relay ends when the last person returns to the team. The first team to finish is the winning team!
