About field day team names

Field day needs a lot of team names at once: one for every class, color group or relay squad, often chosen the week before by a teacher with a sign-up sheet. The names that work are short, easy for a young child to read and fun to shout across a field. Every name here is school-safe and kind, so the same list serves a kindergarten class, a fifth grade send-off and the church or company field day run on the same plan.

The list is built in eight styles. Three come from the day itself: relays and races (Baton Blazers, Sack Hoppers, Steady Spoons, Tug Tigers), water games and summer treats (Sponge Squeezers, Popsicle Pals), and hoop, parachute and playground stations (Hoop Spinners, Parachute Poppers). About a quarter are color teams spread across every shirt color, from Red Rockets and Green Geckos to Teal Seals and Maroon Moose. Class and grade names such as Kinder Kickers, Third Grade Thunder and Room Five Alive name a group by who is in it. The rest are alliterative animals made for chanting, speed and silly-fun names, and names with field day in them.

If teams are sorted by shirt color, start with the color names. If each class competes together, start with the class and grade names.

How to choose field day team names

  • Let the class vote. Read out three or four names, such as Sack Hoppers, Good Eggs and Mighty Meerkats, and take a show of hands. A team cheers louder for a name it chose.
  • Match the name to the shirt. If the shirts are already ordered, pick from that color: Yellow Rockets, Purple Pandas, Orange Foxes or Blue Bolts.
  • Turn the name into a chant. Alliterative names split well into a call and a reply: one half of the class shouts Zooming, the other half shouts Zebras.
  • Keep it to two or three short words so it fits a banner, a scoreboard and a T-shirt, and so the youngest readers can sound it out.
  • Pick a name every child is happy to wear. Skip anything that teases another team, and save inside jokes for the staff relay.

Frequently asked questions

What are good field day team names?

Names taken from the events are the easiest to cheer: Baton Blazers, Steady Spoons, Good Eggs, Tug Tigers and Sack Hoppers are all in the list. For a team that is one class, try Kinder Kickers, Room Five Alive or Third Grade Thunder.

What are good color team names for field day?

Pair the shirt color with an animal or a fast object: Red Rockets, Blue Bolts, Green Geckos, Yellow Rockets, Orange Foxes and Purple Pandas. The list also covers pink, black, white, gray, gold, teal and maroon shirts, with names such as Pink Dolphins, Night Hawks and Golden Gazelles.

Are these names suitable for young children?

Yes. The list is written with elementary school in mind, so there are no jokes at another team's expense and nothing a teacher would have to explain. The words are short and common enough for early readers.

Can adults use these names for a company or church field day?

Yes. Most of the event and color names work at any age, and a few are written for grown-up teams, such as Staff Stars, PTA Pacers, Company Picnic Crew, Sunday School Sprinters and Fellowship Flyers.
