Requirements:

  A few bails of Hay
    A few bags of candy
    A bag of coins

 

The game is simple,
  Step 1   Break up the hay and make a pile
  Step 2   Scatter in Candy and Coins
  Step 3   Get the ones to play to line up
  Step 4   Have Fun

 

We throw in only about 1/4 of the candy and 1/4 of the coins then turn the children 5 and under for a few minutes, then pull them out, push the hay back into a pile and throw the remainder of the candy and coins in, now turn the remainder of the kids loose. I use a relay system adding them in by age groups at 30 second intervals , 6 yrs, 7 yrs, 8 yrs, etc. This gives the smaller ones longer before the bigger kids (which move faster) over run them
