Wondrous Ideas to Keep the Kids Delighted for for Life
Big Foot Relay. Get the children fetch two shoeboxes with them. Tape the hats 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.
Name-It Ball. Have players form a circle. Grant one player a rubber ball. That player selects a category, such as “candy bars.” He or she then bounces the ball to another player in the circle, who must get the ball, submit an item from the category, such as “Snickers,” and keep the ball traveling to the next player. If the player can’t name an item, holds the ball too long, or repeats an item, he or she is out.
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.
Blind Snakes. Set up a number of sprinklers in between a starting line and a finish line. Have the tikes try to run from one end to the other without getting sprayed. Have one of the kids hold the faucet, turning it on and off at random. Honor ribbons to the nippers who play the gangliest without getting wet.
