From Family Fun magazine---
*Remove the plastic film from opening of a tissue box. Cut slits on back of box. Thread a belt through the slits. Put some ping-pong balls in the box. Wear the box/belt as shown in above photo. Set time (30 seconds) and each player shake, shake, shakes to get the balls out of the box. 1 point each ball out
*I am definitely doing this one at the next family reunion! This looks like so much fun. Two players per team each have a shower cap, shaving cream and cheese puff snacks. One team member puts on the shower cap. Teammate covers cap with shaving cream. Teammate without cap gets behind a predesignated line a couple feet away and tosses the cheese puffs onto the shaving creamed cap. One point per puff.
Here is a list of classic games we have played at birthday parties, family reunions and holidays---
*Toss a hula hoop around a small chair
*Everyone put their shoes in a large pile. Sit in circle. At 'GO', everyone finds their shoes and put back on feet.
*Band-aid relay...Have band-aids at end of relay. Each team member runs, opens band-aid, put one on each knee and return.
*Unwrap stick of gum with mittens on hands.
*Folding chair relay...Have a folding chair at end of relay on ground folded. Each team member runs, opens chair, sits on chair, fold up and return.
*The classic water balloon toss!
*Carry an egg on spoon.
*Dribble a basketball backwards.
*Check out past MCP summer blog posts (June, July, August) for some water relays.
*The Family Fun website has lots and lots of fun family game ideas for inside and out.
Go for the gold with this Olympic garland (also from Family Fun). Family Fun suggests painting but here's one better---buy colored paper plates at your local party store! How easy is that--Cut out the inside to create a ring. Cut open alternating plates and tape closed. Use string or ribbon to hang.
Enjoy the Olympics with your friends and family!
