Step one is picking out a good date for your Field Day. This will vary depending on your situation and weather where you are. For me the perfect Field Day Date is the last day of school right before Spring Break, usually at the end of March. My school used to hold Field Day at the end of school in June, the issue with that was that it would sometim...
There are lots of different ways to run Field Day, the three most common ones I’ve seen and heard about from others are below: Track and Field Style Field Day: 1. This is the format where you have students from each class compete in different track and field style events to determine winners in each event. Normally you would split up each event by ...
Now that you know what you’re doing, it’s time to plan your activities. For me this means choosing 18 different stations that my students will rotate through during our Field Day. Each year I plan out 16 game/activity stations and 2 “rest and refresh” stations (water break or an icee pop). I create 18 stations (here’s a few examples) because we hav...
No matter how you swing it, you’re going to need some help.

I also made a “Field Day Pep Talk” that I send out to the school so teachers can show it to students the morning off to give ...
Before we play any games I usually let any classes that might struggle with being a good sport have an opportunity to “Practice Losing” before we play the actual game: Check out a few clips from my “Field Day Training” in the video below: Another fun game we do every year is the Cone Flip Relay – You can see an overview of that HERE One recent game...
Nobody wants to think about a back up plan, but you can’t control the weather. For me personally, rescheduling Field Day is not an option – I’ve put in too much work, instruction time and scheduled tons of parent volunteers. There is no way that I am going to do that all over again – so I always have a backup plan in case of bad weather. Luckily, i...
Now you’ve hustled, put in the work and have to make the last few arrangements to make sure everything is ready to go. The day before Field Day I always stay late at school and go through my checklist of each station, and make sure everything is ready to go. A few things I do the day before: 1. Line each station’s equipment up by the door so it wil...
It’s FINALLY HERE!!!!!!
The morning of Field Day I am super amped – I get to school early and my co-teacher and I (plus any student teachers I have and maybe a few helpful students) load up all the PE Equipment in a truck and drive it down to our school recess playground to start setting up all the stations. As we setup our stations we color code each station with 4 lines of Red, Yellow, Blue and Green with these dome cones and keep any stations with 4 teams in the same basic format to make it easy for transitions f...
