BEACH GAMES
Castle battles, Conquering Castles
Two groups are made. Each group builds a castle about 20 feet apart from each other. In each castle a flag (towel) is flown. On your mark… get set… go… Which group can get the others flag and fly it in their own castle first? Note: all kids have a flag in their back pocket. If your flag is captured you’re in jail until your team frees you!
Piranhas on Dry Land
Everyone for themselves! A bandana or a plastic bag is tucked in the back of the player’s swim suits. In a confined area the players must “live” as long as possible while trying to get the other players bandanas.
Push the Ball
Using only your nose or head race the other team pushing a tennis ball across the sand!
Long Jump
Race against the clock and another team on an Olympic obstacle course in the sand. The final challenge is a classic long jump!
Frisbee Goal Throw
Compete against another team to hit the targets. Each target is worth a different amount of points and each turn is an opportunity to get more points for your team!
Shell Balancing Relay Race!
With a shell balanced on the players forehead he/she must run from one end of the course to the other and give his shell to the next player!
Clothing Relay/ Penguin Race
The first player puts on a wetsuit, fins and goggles and races to his teammate on the other end of the course. Quick the other team’s close behind! Hand the gear over to your partner and it’s their turn to race across the finish line!
Burry a Friend
How long does it take to completely cover a person laying on the sand??
Circle ball
Each team holds hands making a circle. The coach places a ball inside the circle. While staying as a unit the team must move the ball to the other team’s goal. Remember, it’s a race but if you lose grip of your teammates hands your team goes back to the starting line!
Last but not least: flag football and kickball!!
