Pumpkin Relays
October 27th, 2007
My girls are 5 & 7, and their fall parties at school are so fun. Especially the kindergarteners, it is their first official school celebration, and they are so excited. This is a game that I have used since my oldest was in kindergarten, so I am not sure where I go the idea. I just put the balls in a zip-lock and get it out from year to year.
The relay is played with plastic spoons. The kids line up, and carry their ‘pumpkins’ down the lane on the plastic spoon and drop in the cauldron. The team with the most pumpkins in the cauldron at the end wins. If you are on a tile floor, you’ll have ping pong balls going every which way. So simple, so fun.
I’ve been home bound with sick or hive covered children for 2 full weeks, so I’m looking forward to my night out with Wes and some friends. Have a wonderful weekend!

They are adorable! Looks very time consuming, but I’m sure the fun they have makes it all worthwhile!
