OPEN National Field Day

In celebration of the Summer Olympic Games, we created 10 stations you can use for an Olympic themed Field Day. Each station highlights a sport included in the Summer Olympic Games and includes an activity plan and a station card. In addition, we included a passport that you can use to help classes rotate through the stations with some fun facts about each sport and country that is included for that station.

OPEN National Field Day was created in response to the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic when students were learning virtually, and traditional field day seemed impossible. OPEN, US Games, and a host of partners sprang into action and created a field day experience for millions of students. In honor of that 2020 collaborative effort, OPEN National Field Day continues.

We revised our set of traditional field day activities for you to use with your students. These activities were created by the OPEN members and contributors listed in the Field Day Overview. You’ll also find the collection of field day events that were created and revised between 2020 and 2021. Partner logos are displayed to recognized and thank the many organizations who joined our efforts during the COVID-19 Pandemic. Please enjoy all the resources provided. Happy Field Day Season!
