Sands of Time
Game of the week
Looking for a good beach-type game? Nothing beats sand for a good beach game!
Materials
Sand
Pie plates or small buckets
Game Play
Divide your group into teams (5-10 people per team). Put down a container of sand per team on one line, and the pie plate (or buckets) a distance away (you can pick any you want). Set up your teams for a relay race! For this race, each team member will grab a handful of sand (make sure its only one hand and not two!) and run to the pie plate/bucket. Their goal is to get as much sand in the pie pan/bucket while losing as little sand as possible.
There are two options for how to win –
1. The first team to fill a bucket wins
2. The team with the most sand after every team member has gone through
If you want to make the game more difficult, you can add some “wind and waves” by busting out a fan and a hose. Just be careful not to electrocute yourself! Also, this is a great game to do outdoors (not so much indoors!) Enjoy!
