Cheetoh Head: This hilarious game is a fun and messy addition to Field Day and will have kids howling! OutWentTheLight.blogspot.com illustrates, “Cheeto Head involved two kids donning shower caps which were then covered in shaving cream. The other team members had to toss Cheetos at their heads so they stuck. Whichever team got the most Cheetos to stick was declared the winner:“
Golf: Frisbee Golf is super popular these days and perfect for field day! As eHow.com explains it, “Each player has a Frisbee. Set up targets in the golfing area such as trees, cone, or buckets. From a designated starting point, let each student throw the Frisbee toward the target. The goal is to be the first to hit the target. After the first toss, the person whose Frisbee lands furthest away will go next, followed by the next furthest until someone hits the target. Keep score like in golf, with each throw counting as a stroke.” More info here

Yard Bowling: A fun twist on a game kids love, yard bowling is a great DIY game for Field Day. Simply fill empty 2 liter bottles with a small bit of rice (sand, dirt, or water) and position as bowling pin. Have kids take turns using a larger ball to knock them down.
Pizza Box Relay: Hang on to those old pizza boxes, they’re perfect for Field Day fun! Just like a typical relay with students lined up 15 or 20 yards from one another, simply add a pizza box to the stack each time a student returns successfully.
Multi-ball: This large group game is a great way to bring Field Day to a close with the participation of teachers and parents too. Playworks.org shares, “In multi-ball, there are two teams, three bases and three outs as in kickball. However, instead of a pitcher and one bouncy ball, you use three pieces of equipment, such as a frisbee, a kickball and a football that the kicker must throw, kick and throw before s/he runs the bases as many times around as possible. Once the kicker has completed throwing, kicking and throwing, the other team may begin fielding. It is their job to gather all three piece so equipment and place them in a hula hoop, bucket or other designated spot at homebase–at which point the runner must stop and return to the kicking line.” More ideas here
