Terrific Ideas to Keep the Youngsters Entertained for Forever
Big Foot Relay. Get the children take two shoeboxes with them. Magnetic Tape the hats onto the boxes, then cut a one-inch-wide and four-inch long slit in every top. Get the contestants slip their feet into the slits in the boxes and race.
Frisbee Tower. Purchase a caboodle of mini Frisbees and aim them in a pile in the center of the yard. Have the guests divide the Frisbees among themselves. The first player begins the activity by putting 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 action continues until someone causes the growing tower to topple.
Blind Walk. Create an obstacle path from one end of the yard to the other. Line up the contestants and let them have a good 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.
Blind Snakes. Set up a figure of sprinklers in between a starting line and a finish line. Have the kids try to run from one end to the other without getting sprayed. Have one of the kids control the faucet, turning it on and off at random. Honour ribbons to the tikes who play the most forethoughtful without getting wet.
