My Cup Runneth Over Relay

 

Divide the children by pairs. Designate a start line and a finish line in an open, grassy area. Place a large bucket of water filled with a supply of sponges at the starting line. One child from each pair begins at the start line by removing a wet sponge from the bucket when you say, "Go!" The 1st runner then proceeds to the finish line where the 2nd runner is waiting with an empty paper cup on his head. The 1st runner then squeezes all the water from her sponge into the 2nd runner's cup. The 2nd runner then races to the "start" line. The person with the most water left in their cup when they cross the line is the winner.
