The Great Turkey Race

This is our second annual Turkey Race.

To start we read The Great Turkey Race by Steve Metzger. It is a fun story where turkeys compete to be the Thanksgiving turkey.  

Then we headed outside for 5 competitions that matched up with the competitions in the book. First up the students had a running race.  They ran the track and when they completed it they were awarded a gold medal.

Then they competed in an obstacle course. They had to zig zag through cones, go through tunnel, jump in hula hoops and do 3 jumping jacks to complete.  The first of the two students that ran was awarded a medal.

Next was the jumping competition.  Students had to jump the discs without falling off.  If students could complete task they were awarded a medal.

Then students competed in a throwing competition.  Students had 3 chances to throw a football threw the net.   If they did, they received a medal.

To finish off our field events, we had a dance off.  Students that danced the whole time received a medal.  Sorry this picture is so blurry.
