Here are some of my ideas: Cooperative Fun Day and Personal Best Events
1st half: multi-age groups that include all ages (6-16 years) rotate through fun stations/games/activities with a team captain (responsible 14-16 year old)
-siblings together on one team
-have fun and accumulate points for team
-At end announce points for each team, everybody cheers for everybody and participant ribbons are handed to all
2nd Half:
-Inflatable bouncers and Personal Best Events
- Students choose to do their activities/attend as individuals
-Personal best Events: short race, long race, ball throw, long jump/standing long jump
-Students take a little photocopied index card to each event and record times/distances on their card with goal to beat their last years times and distances
-Any/all ages can line up for race/field event of choice. They can run in pairs of any age
-Only times/distances are recorded for individuals
-Participant ribbons awarded for completing each Personal Best Event
-Students of all ages can line up/do age-appropriate bouncers of choice during second half as well

This sounds like something we would actually attend! Multi-age activities and not being so competitive are the things that we have loved about homeschooling. This type of fun day would be amazing!
Yes, Delia, this sounds like something we would be excited about! Annika loved this past week's funday, but by the end of it she was all caught up in the race for ribbons, especially the blue one! The one event that was cooperative (3 legged race) she excelled and I wanted to make her a ribbon for that race!
Delia, I really like the idea of personal best events. That's a great idea!
