Sponge Relay

Get ready

1. Put a full bucket at the start line for each team.
2. Place an empty cup about 20 feet away for each team.
3. Split kids into teams and line them up behind their bucket.

How to play

1. The first player dunks the sponge in the bucket.
2. Run to the cup and squeeze as much water as you can into it.
3. Run back and hand the sponge to the next player.
4. Keep going until a team fills their cup to the top.
5. If time runs out, the team with the most water in their cup wins.

Tips & variations

• Perfect for a hot day. Let parents know kids might get wet.
• For a team-line version, pass the sponge over heads down the line and squeeze at the end.
• Use a clear cup so everyone can see the water level rise.
