Water Transfer Relay: The instruction of obeying God was passed on from David to Solomon. Set up a relay in the back yard where each player/team has two buckets set 5m+ apart, one with water and the other empty. For each player/team, make sure they have equal amounts of water in their starting bucket. Using a plastic cup, the challenge is to transfer the water from the full bucket to the empty bucket.

  • [Optional] set a time limit, the player/team with the most water in the empty bucket at the end of the set time wins.

  • [Optional] modify with something different in the buckets if water play is too cold!
