Field day ideas should provide opportunities for all students to participate and have fun. Activities chosen for students to participate in should be developmentally appropriate. Submitted field day ideas should be different and unique from the ideas that are already posted on the site. Submitted field day ideas should be written clearly and with detail so that other teachers could replicate what you did. Opportunities are provided for children to voluntarily choose from a variety of activities that are intended to be culminating positive experiences for the activities selected.
Recognition is based on positive participation rather than acheivement.
Teachers facilitate field days that encourage intense team, group, or individual competition with winners and losers clearly identified. Extensive recognition is given to winners. Skilled children are chosen to represent a class in a limited number of activities.
