Game Day Events
Obstacle course
Teams of six will travel through physical and mental obstacles. Once all members have completed the obstacle course, the team will work together on a final challenge. The top three fastest teams in a group will be awarded points.
Football toss
Teams will consist of eight participants. Five team members will throw, while three catch at varying designated distances. The three teams in a group with the fastest time will be awarded points.
50-yard relay
All team members must participate. Pairs of participants will complete a three-legged race out and back 25 yards for a total of 50 yards. The top three teams in a group with the fastest times will be awarded points.
Soccer kicks
Teams will consist of eight participants. Each team member must kick a soccer ball through three separate obstacles, each worth points. The top three teams with the most points at the end of their eight turns will be awarded points for the round.
Backyard relay
Teams will consist of eight participants. Team members, in pairs, will compete in a series of backyard game challenges including cornhole and ladder golf. The top three fastest teams to complete the relay will be awarded points.
Volleyball
Teams will consist of six participants. Teams will have three minutes to compete in a bracket-style volleyball game. The team with the most points at the three-minute mark will move onto the next round. The top three scoring teams will be awarded points.
Hula hoop
Teams will consist of 10 participants. Each team will be given one hula hoop and participants must stand in a line holding hands with their arms and elbows fully extended. Once time starts, the hula hoop must make its way down and back the line of participants, without touching the ground, three times in a row. Once completed, the team must transfer water from one bucket to another using only a sponge passed down their line of teammates. The top three fastest teams will be awarded points.
Red light, green light
Teams will consist of eight participants. Pairs will participate in a three-legged race using a potato sack to connect their legs. When the light is green, pairs may run forward. When the light is red, they must stop immediately, or they are out. Pairs will earn points depending on how close to the finish line they are when they are disqualified. The top three teams in a group will be awarded points.
Boston Children’s Hospital values gender diversity. Teams should be composed of people representing a mix of gender identities with no more than half of a team representing one gender in order to maintain equity and inclusion in the competition. This should be true for the team as well as any smaller groups put together for specific events.
