Marvelous Thoughts to Keep the Tikes Amused for Months
Big Foot Relay. Have the children take two shoeboxes with them. Tape the hats onto the corners, 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 caboodle of mini Frisbees and direct them in a pile in the mid of the grounds. Have the guests carve up the Frisbees among themselves. The first player begins the activity by placing 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. Produce an obstruction path from one end of the yard to the other. Line up the contestants and let them have a serious look at the path. One at a time, blindfold the children 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 drag the body on the blanket from one end of the yard to the other. Whoever crosses the finish line first, wins.
