Special Ideas to Keep the Youngsters Diverted for Days
Big Foot Relay. Get the children bring two shoeboxes with them. Magnetic Tape the lids onto the corners, then cut a one-inch-wide and four-inch long slit in to each one top. Have the contestants slip their feet into the slits in the boxes and race.
Frisbee Tower. Purchase a cluster of mini Frisbees and station them in a pile in the middle of the grounds. Have the guests carve up the Frisbees among themselves. The first player begins the action by setting one of his or her Frisbees on the ground. Each of the following players places his or her Frisbee on upper of the first Frisbee, and the process proceeds until someone causes the growing tower to topple.
Blind Walk. Make an obstacle path from one end of the yard to the other. Line up the contestants and let them have a solid look at the path. One at a time, blindfold the kids and have them walk the path without looking. Note each player’s time on the scoreboard.
Drag the Body. Divide the group into two teams. Give each team a blanket. Have one player from each team lie down on the blanket. The teams must haul the body on the blanket from one end of the yard to the other. Whoever crosses the finish line first, wins.
