How to Host Your Own Sports Day at Home
Forget about needing a proper field or fancy equipment. You’d be amazed at how common household objects can be used for a DIY Sports Day.
Hosting your own Sports day can help you and your little ones discover the joy of movement. No matter whether you’re hosting indoors, going to your garden or popping to the local park, there are plenty of activities you can try. Ready to get started?
Egg & Spoon Challenge
Transform your hallway into the ultimate egg and spoon track. All you need is a spoon and any small round object. Don’t worry you don’t have to use an actual egg for this one (think of the carpets!) A small ball, a pair of rolled up socks or even a wash cloth tied up in a rubber band would do the trick.
Sack Racing Adventures
Channel your inner kangaroo for this bouncing bonanza that tests balance while delivering guaranteed belly laughs. No burlap sacks? No problem. Raid your wardrobes for pillowcases.
DIY Obstacle Extravaganza
You can make your own obstacle course in or out the house – indoors is a great option for a rainy day. You can design a course that has family members army-crawling under dining room tables, hopscotching over scattered cushions, and weaving through strategically placed household items. The weirder the obstacles, the more memorable the experience!
Living Room Balloon Volleyball
Create a net using string or rope, inflate a balloon, and watch your space transform into centre court. This game works brilliantly for mixed ages since the balloon’s slow movement levels the playing field between energetic kids and competitive adults.
Family Dance Competition
Crank up the speakers and let loose with a dance competition. Feeling a bit self-conscious? Create categories to give you something to focus on. You could have “Most Creative Move,” “Best Use of Props,” or “Funniest Performance” to ensure everyone gets their moment to shine.
The real victory isn’t crossing finish lines first; it’s the shared stories you’ll be retelling for years and the active memories you’re building together. We’re all about helping people find the joy of movement. Want to encourage your family to move more?
