Thanks to our amazing special ed teacher, Ms. Cahoon, we had a wonderful field day today. It was especially great for second grade because we just finished learning all about the continents and our field day was a "trip" around the world to play games based on the animals found on each continent. We began our journey in Europe with the terrier...as students used fuzzy, staticky gloves to carry balls (balloons) in a relay race. In North America, we played an opposum game where we passed leaking cups of water over our head.
Then we traveled to the North Pole to have dog sled races.
Our next adventure took us to_____________________ where we played tag. The kids without water bottles tried to tag those with water bottles. If you were tagged, you had to freeze until a team member sprayed you with water.
Then in Australia we did kangaroo hopping games... using potato sacks, big bouncy balls and a trampoline and hula hoops.
In antarctica, we acted as penguins and carried our eggs (a ball) between our legs to protect them. Then we reached the South Pole, and there were no animals. But it was quite cool as we enjoyed a frozen treat.
Perhaps our favorite visit was to Asia, where the elephants used their trunks to spray water into buckets (and all over the kids holding the buckets.) Everyone got soaked during this fun game.
Then in Africa, we used hulahoops.
Finally, we sailed across the oceans. We did a "plunger" relay where we used plungers to carry a ball. Then, before we headed back home to our classroom, we took a group photo. Aren't we a nice looking class?
