ever since covid hit and shut everything down we've struggled to be able to organise primary activities for our kids. we were called as a new primary presidency the week before church was closed down, butttt now that we are able to have church again we organised an activity to get our kids together... outside! we decided on a sports carnival so that we could be outside and appropriately "social distance" whilst doing so.
we had a bunch of kids turn up and had an awesome cheer squad of family members!
first up, we divided the kids into 3 tribes, the nephites (in yellow), the lamanites (in red) and the jaredites (blue) and handed out headbands for them to wear.
then, we ran age group races on the grass strip by our chapel...
before coming back for team games, which were all modified to suit our day-
-egg and spoon races (with giant spoons and plastic counting eggs)
-flag race (run to each one of the cones and tap as you pass)
-three legged race
-hula hoop circle
-bean bag throw
we kept track of each of the winners throughout the day and allocated points to each of the teams for the individual and team events, to allow us to come to the final winner scores:
nephites in 1st place
lamanites in 2nd place
and jaredites in 3rd pace
we had bishop award the winning tribe with prizes and had our activity days leaders award our choices for the champion girl and boy for the day, we'd been to kmart and picked out a pile of things for them to choose from and they loved it!
we ended the day with a bbq, juice boxes and cupcakes, before racing to pack everything up because the rain was coming in... it was a great day and i'm hoping we manage to sort another one soon!
our little primary carnival gang. ❤
