Tremendous Thoughts to Keep the Tikes Entertained for Ages
August 27th, 2009Big Foot Relay. Have the children fetch 2 shoeboxes with them. Tape the lids onto the boxes, then cut a one-inch-wide and four-inch long slit in to each one top. Get the contestants slip their feet into the slits in the boxes and race.
Frisbee Tower. Purchase a bundle of mini Frisbees and aim them in a pile in the middle 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 top of the first Frisbee, and the activity continues 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 genuine look at the path. One at a time, blindfold the tikes and have them walk the path without looking. Note each player’s time on the scoreboard.
Drag the Body. Split 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.
