Hot Thoughts to Keep the Tiddlers Amused for Months
Big Foot Relay. Have the children get two shoeboxes with them. Tape the hats 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 caboodle of mini Frisbees and station them in a pile in the centre of the grounds. Have the guests divide the Frisbees among themselves. The first player begins the activity by placing one of his or her Frisbees on the earth. Each of the following players places his or her Frisbee on top of the first Frisbee, and the activity proceeds until someone causes the growing tower to topple.
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. Honour ribbons to the kids who play the thriftiest without getting wet.
