Beach Olympics Overview

Beach Olympics consists of 5-10 rounds of relay games and other team building activities. Groups are divided into four teams with equal amounts of participants (team size varies depending upon the size of your group). Each individual team will participate in all events and points are awarded to the top three finishing teams in each (point size varies for first, second and third place finishers). Events are completed in a round-robin style, with all teams competing in each event simultaneously. As the name suggests, activities take place on…the beach

A member of the Hilton Sandestin Beach Golf Resort & Spa Recreation Team will serve as master of ceremonies, moderating the event and explaining the rules to your group. Additional staff members will facilitate each individual event, and keep score.

Note: Games/activities, time and team sizes can all be customized based on your group’s unique needs.

Team Games

Our recreation staff will work with you to choose the best games for each round of Beach Olympics, that suit your group’s individual needs. Our most popular team games include:

Army Crawl: Participants must army crawl on their stomach under rope barriers. Event operates as a relay — each team member must go down the course and back, then tag the next team member to do the same. The first team to complete it wins.
Giant Ring Toss: A giant-sized version of old-fashioned ring toss. We use hula hoops as the rings, and set up various poles scattered about 20+ feet away from the tosser. To win, wrap the most hula hoops around the various rings by the end of the designated time.
Blind Trust: All team members are blindfolded, except for one person who serves as the “spokesperson.” This spokesperson must lead their teammates through various obstacles by giving verbal instructions (ex. “walk 3 steps, lift your right foot and step over, take one giant step”). The first team to complete the obstacle course wins (every team member must cross the finish line).
Brain Busters: Not all of our activities have to be physical. It’s great to exercise the mind too. We have a variety of brain buster activities including Man Overboard, Reading Between the Lines, and even some 5th grade algebra puzzles.
Scavenger Hunts: Personalized upon request.

Other fun team games include Sandblaster, Minute to Win It!, Mullet Toss, Landmines, and Interactives/Inflatables. Custom and new events may be added upon request.
