Key Thoughts to Keep the Tikes Entertained for Days
Big Foot Relay. Get the children add 2 shoeboxes with them. Tape the lids onto the boxes, then cut a one-inch-wide and four-inch long slit in each top. Have the contestants slip their feet into the slits in the boxes and race.
Frisbee Tower. Purchase a bundle of mini Frisbees and direct them in a pile in the middle of the yard. Have the guests divide the Frisbees among themselves. The first player begins the action by placing one of his or her Frisbees on the ground. Each of the following players places his or her Frisbee on tip of the first Frisbee, and the action proceeds until someone causes the growing tower to topple.
Pick Pocket Tag. Put a strip of cloth in each player’s back pocket. Have the players try to grab each other’s strips without having their own strip taken. The player with the most cloth strips wins the game.
Drag the Body. Fraction the group into two teams. Give each team a blanket. Have one player from each team lie down on the blanket. The teams must cart the body on the blanket from one end of the yard to the other. Whoever crosses the finish line first, wins.
