A great springtime activity! Plastic duckies are sold to the public, and then all released on a stretch of a local river. First “ducky” to cross the finish line wins!
Don’t live near a running river? That’s ok! You can hold a tennis ball race. Just use tennis balls instead, and release them down a nearby hill.
Prep Steps:
1.Get support from authorities in the area to use the local river or hill for an afternoon.
2.Find a wholesale supplier of rubber duckies or balls.
3.Sell “Duckies” or balls to the public (Suggested price=$15-25)
4.Clearly mark duckies or balls with a permanent pen, so you’ll be able to match it up with the winner!
5.All ducks or balls are released at the same time and the first one to cross the finish line wins a prize.
Materials Needed:
1. Rubber duckies
2. Permanent markers
3. Loud speaker/megaphone
4. Prizes
Helpful Hints:
This is a great event to pair with a food sale or festival.
