Pineapple
Relays
 | Use pineapples, coconuts, guava, or mango (oh
heck, you can use oranges if you get desperate... we're going for fun here, not
authenticity... just write PINEAPPLE on your orange with a black marker *grin*). You
can use real fruit or plastic fruit (or make bean bag fruit out of pieces of felt).
|
 | The age groups can compete with each other
(mommy and daddy can compete with their 2 yr old), just make each does the activity
appropriate for their age to even things a bit (though the 2 yr old may just stop and
stare in amazement when they see how goofy mommy and daddy look).
|
 | AGE 5+ Basically
team members have to run to the end, holding the pineapple between them (without hands)
... stomach to stomach or hip to hip. If they drop it, you can allow hands to be used to
reposition it. If you find the pineapple too heavy for the kids, use a mango, papaya or
guava instead.
|
 | AGE 3-4: Same
idea, but don't team the kids up. Let each carry their own fruit, but in an odd way
... between their knees (hard), behind their back (medium), with one hand (easy).
Younger, less athletic kids should get an easier way of carrying.
|
 | AGE walking to 3:
Just let the youngest ones get to the end carrying their fruit. You'd be amazed how
tough it is for them to concentrate on running and carrying simultaneously.
