Soak N' Squeeze Relay Race for Kids
In the Soak N' Squeeze Relay Race, the kids will get pretty wet, so be forewarned. To play the Soak N' Squeeze Relay Race, a few supplies are needed. All kids who play will need a pair of sweatpants and a bucket. All buckets should be exactly the same. A kiddie pool is also needed for this active game.
First, determine a start and finish line for the kids. The kiddie pool should be at the finish line. The buckets should be at the start line. Each of the kids will stand in front of their own bucket. At the start of the race, each one of the kids will race alongside each other to the kiddie pool and jump in, which should soak their sweatpants. They then should run the race back to their own bucket and squeeze as much water as possible into it
Game play continues until one player's bucket has been filled completely. That player is the winner. If there are more than 10 kids playing, the game can be adapted into a team relay game. The kids really like this active game. They have so much fun running back and forth. The determined looks on their faces while attempting to fill the buckets are priceless.
For those concerned about the physical challenges, when the pants become soaked, it creates extra weight, which gives a good workout, in addition to the racing itself. To make this race even more challenging, try adding a mini obstacle course in between the pool and bucket. One idea for a mini obstacle course is to put out some cones to weave through, a row of batons to jump over, or a row of tires to step through.
Be sure to have drinking water, towels and dry clothing on hand for when the race is completed. The kids always enjoy this active race, but when it is over, they are also happy to get refreshed.

How fun! If this doesn't wear your child out for "nap time", nothing will! LOL. I know that most kids love playing in and with water, so this is bound to go over very well.
I love toys and games that get the kids moving!
Fun..Fun...Fun.
