Grab

  • Cups
  • socks
  • spoons
  • paper
  • tape
  • timer
  • water
  • a safe open area

Do this

  1. Choose four events: sock toss, cup stack, slow-motion race, balance walk, or paper-ball relay.
  2. Mark safe boundaries and demonstrate each event before starting.
  3. Rotate together. Track personal attempts or team completion, not winners and losers.
  4. End with a family-designed event and give playful awards such as best recovery or loudest cheer.

Keep it easy

Choose two seated or low-movement events and skip timing.

Take it further

Create event signs and invite participants to improve one personal score.

Adult note

Match activities to each person's abilities, clear hazards, hydrate, and stop if anyone feels unwell.
