Relay Races Kids Love | Summer Fun

Wednesday, May 19th, 2010

One of our favorite family activities as the weather gets nicer is to race! No, not NASCAR. We race with our feet (and hands too!) Whether in the backyard, the local park, or beach, our family loves to race. We are talking about much more than a 50 yard dash. Our friends at Amazing Moms have put together a list of great races for families.

We create obstacle courses, use bandanas for blinfolds, and specialize in relay racing of all kinds. Kids of all ages and adults (parents, uncles/aunts, grandparents) can get active and share a lot of laughs.

BTW, have you signed up for our Summer Goal Setting Challenge? Answer 5 simple questions to help you get the most out of your summer. Check out the challenge. Winners receive a Family Fantasy Sports Prize Pack with t-shirts, mini-footballs, a prize certificate, and other sports themed items.

Here is the Water Relay from Amazing Moms.

Water Relay
Continues to be the favorite at all of our picnics and parties!

You’ll need:
Buckets of water 1 per team
Large sponges 1per team
Empty 1 gallon plastic milk jug 1 per team

Split players into two or more teams.
Set the buckets of water on one side of the race course with the sponges in the bucket. Place the milk jug at the opposite end of the race course. The object of the game is to be the first team to fill the milk jug with water. The first player of each team soaks the sponge with water runs to the milk jug and squeezes the water into it. Then runs back to pass the sponge to the next player.
This continues until the first jug is full.

To provide more of a challenge, try using turkey baster syringe’s instead
of sponges;you have to aim while you are also trying to win!


TIP: A little food coloring in the jug will help the racers
see the water line.

Have any favorite races? Let us know about them and we’d be glad to share.

Cincinnati Bengals Beat

Wednesday, December 16th, 2009

Our own Cincinnati Bengals kids sportswriter, Adam, submitted his thoughts on the Bengals-Lions game and his picks from Week 13.  Now we are going to review his analysis and see how well he did!  Our comments are in italics.

By the way, we are looking for more kids sportswriters to cover the NFL and other sports throughout the year.  If you’d like to hop on board the Family Fantasy Sports reporters bandwagon let us know. We are always looking for more writers, so submit your thoughts, comments, picks, articles, editorials, whatever!

Bengals Will Topple The Lions
By Adam Schimberg

I’ve got some picks for you. Read ‘em and weep.

CIN vs. DET= 35-17 CIN (actual: 23-13 CIN)
PHI vs. ATL= 28-21 PHI (actual: 34-7 PHI)
STL vs. CHI= 42-14 CHI (actual: 17-9 CHI)
TEN vs. IND= 38-10 IND (actual 27-17 IND)
DEN vs. KC= 35-24 DEN (actual 44-13 DEN)
NE vs. MIA= 35-31 NE (actual 22-21 MIA)
OAK vs. PIT= 28-3 PIT (actual 27-24 OAK)
NO vs. WASH= 45-17 NO (actual 33-30 NO)
TB vs. CAR= 21-17 CAR (actual 16-6 CAR)
HOU vs. JAC= 28-14 HOU (23-18 JAC)
SD vs. CLE= 35-10 SD (actual 30-23 SD)
DAL vs. NYG= 31-21 DAL (actual 31-24 NYG)
SF vs. SEA= 28-24 SEA (actual 20-17 SEA)
MIN vs. ARI= 35-10 MIN (actual 30-17 ARI)
BAL vs. GB= 17-10 GB (actual 27-14 GB)

OVERALL 10-5
An excellent performance from Adam, proving once again that the Family Fantasy Sports crowd can make the predictions for NFL games just as well (if not better!) than the experts on TV.

Now here are my fantasy picks: I think that Carson Palmer will have a monster game against the Lions defense. Look for the NO defense to stand strong against the Redskins. Check out Steve Slaton, because he’ll run all over the Jags. Chad Ochocinco will be a beast with the arm of Palmer behind him. Matt Stover will make his PAT’s and a field goal against the low-morale TEN defense. I hope you enjoyed my picks.

Since I’m from Cincinnati, I root for the Bengals. When they play the Lions, look for their O-Line to stand strong, and topple the Lions D-Line. Let’s play some football!

Palmer – 15.5 points, decent game

New Orleans DST – 14 points, HUGE game

Slaton – 0 points (injury)

Ochocinc0 -19 points, HUGE game

Stover – 9 points, HUGE game

Adam was pretty much dead-on accurate with his fantasy picks for Week 13.  We think they should add a spot for him on one of the big pregame shows. Anyone at ESPN listening?!
