SCHOOL SPORTS DAY

Sports Day with a twist…

Remember good old-fashioned School Sports Days?… Egg & Spoon Race?…Sack Race?…Wheelbarrow Race?…3 Legged Race?…the list is endless.Well now Edinburgh Stag & Hen can make that happen and bring back those memories and take you back to your younger days.  A minimum of 10 participants are required  to take part in a host of old schools sports day games organised and supervised by our dedicated team.

Here is a list of our Sports Day Games:

DIZZY RACE

Participant has to spin around 20 times then run in and out of cones to end cone and back again to tag their team mate, format continues for the rest of the team to complete.

SACK RACE

Participant gets in a sack provided and proceeds to jump in the sack to the end of the lane and back to their team mate, format continues for the rest of the team to complete.

BEAN HEAD

Participant has to balance a bean bag on their head while getting to the end of the lane as fast as possible and back to teammate to repeat process. Format continues for the rest of the team to complete. If the bean bag is dropped the participant ‘should’ go back to the start.

EGG & SPOON

Participant has to balance an egg on the end of spoon whilst running as fast as possible to the end of the lane and back to pass over the egg & spoon the the next teammate. Format continues for the rest of the team. If the egg is dropped the participant must stop where they are and place the egg back on the spoon before continuing to run.

SKIPPING RACE

Participant uses the skipping rope provided to skip to the end of the lane and back to their team mate to repeat. Format continues for the rest of the team to complete.

3-LEGGED RACE

Two participants have to join together and attach a special strap to their adjoining legs (left leg for one, right leg for the other) which will create three legs between two participants. They then combined have to get to the end of the lane and back as quick as possible. The strap then has to be transferred to the next pair waiting. Format continues for the rest of the team to complete.

FOOTBALL DRIBBLE

Participant dribbles with football in and out of cones to the end cone and back again, then passes over to team mate who repeats process. Format continues for the rest of the team to complete.

TIC-TAC-TOE

Each team will have 3 colour-coded bibs. On go, the first person from each team will run to the tic tac toe board (9 placed Hula Hoops) and place it in one of the hula hoops. They will race back to their team and the next participant will go. This will continue until the 3 bibs are placed. The goal is to have your team get 3 in a row (horizontally, vertically, or diagonally). If all 3 bibs from both teams have been placed and there is no tic tac toe, the next participant in line will be able to move one of their own team bibs into an open hula hoop.

THROWING

Two hoops stay in the racing lane and with the bean bag the participants alternatively take turns to throw the bean bag into one of the two hoops. On a point system, 2 points the closets hoop, 3 points for the furthest away hoop. The team with the most points win.

SPACE HOPPING

With the space hopper provided the participant attempts to get to the end of the lane and back to their teammate as fast as they can while on the space hopper. The format continues for the rest of the team to complete.

WHEELBARROW

In pairs, they have to attempt a wheelbarrow run to the end of the lane and back again as fast as they can. They have to achieve this by participant 1 getting into a press up position. Participant 2 then takes hold of participant 1’s ankles. Using participant 1 as a ‘wheelbarrow’ they then compete in the race. At the end of the lane they switch over roles and participant 2 becomes the ‘wheelbarrow’. The format continues for the rest of the team to complete.

TUG OF WAR

All participants from each team will grab opposite ends of a 20m Tug of War rope and pull against the opposing team. Whatever team successfully pulls all participants from the opposing team over the centre mark wins.

FULL TEAM RELAY

Participant 1 runs in and out of the cone to the end cone and back again to participant 2. They link arms with participant 2 and repeat the process. They then link with participant 3 and the process continues through the whole team to create a chain of runners. The format continues until the whole team crosses the finishing line.

We had a great Stag weekend with my friends. We had our weekend booked and organised just before lockdown. Clearly these were uncertain times and two years later I decided to reorganise the weekend when restrictions eased John was very accommodating and everything ran smoothly. Activities included a group meal on the Friday night, Hearts FC hospitality package on the Saturday afternoon before a Babes bar crawl on the Saturday night (Which ensured 22 lads were kept together and we gained entry without fuss to all bars and night clubs) All the lads enjoyed the weekend

I couldn’t thank John at Edinburgh…
I couldn’t thank John at Edinburgh enough. He went to great lengths to help book our mini Highland Games day. We had so much fun. 5 star ⭐️

Fantastic Stag Do
John was fantastic with the organisation of the stag do. We tried out the mini highland games for 9 of us, which was thoroughly enjoyed by all and really bought out a competitive nature in everyone. Would recommend this event to everyone! The transport was great too, right on time and the driver was very pleasant.

Really enjoyed the Mini Highland Games as part of a Hen weekend. Staff were great and got everyone involved. Organising was made really easy by John who was great in adjusting our booking and organising the transport.

Helpful and Easy
John was very helpful throughout and made sure everything ran smoothly. Perhaps a little slow to respond at times, but always helpful and made sure our weekend went as well as possible.

5-star review of edinburghstag.com:
We did the Mini Highland Games and also the Paintballing through John at Edinburgh Stag & Hen Do Co. Both things went off without a hitch and the travel to and fro was perfectly on time. We also booked the accommodation on Gilmore Pl. With 18 fellas on the trip the accommodation had it's own key pad systems for each room and for the front door! No need to be bothering anyone about lost keys etc.

Highly Recommended!
We booked the Highland games followed by a whiskey tasting and it was fantastic! The day went seamlessly, we were picked up from where we requested by a minivan and then taken to the games which were run by a fantastic instructor, then back to the centre where we had the whiskey tasting. John was quick to respond, easy to get in touch with and organised everything we needed for a great day. He went above and beyond with recommendations on places to go and eat/drink too, would highly recommend anyone wanting to book a stag do in Edinburgh to use him! Thank you!
