Answer 1

How about....

*Hourse shoes

*Capture the Flag

*Chain Hide and Seek

*Flashlight Hide and Seek

*Four Square

*Hop Scotch

*Horse

*I Spy

*Kickball

*Kick the Can

*Red Light Green Light

*Red Rover

*Sardines

*Shadowing

*Sneaky Sprinkler

*Swing the Statue

*Balloon Stomp
Supplies Needed: Balloons, string
Let the kids blow up their own balloons and tie one to their ankle with string. At the 'Go' signal, everyone runs around trying to stomp on and bust each others balloons. The last person with an intact balloon wins.

*Jump Rope Relay
Supplies Needed: two jump ropes
Form two teams and set the boundaries of the race. At the 'Go' signal, the first two players race to the goal and back, jumping rope. The next player goes, and so on, until the winning team is declared.

*Hot Potato
Supplies Needed: boom box; bean bag or at your outdoor picnic, use a real potato!
Players stand in a circle, and a parent or teen starts the music. Players pass the potato around the circle until the music stops. Whoever is holding the potato when the music stops is out. Play continues until one winner is declared.

*Hula Hoop Contest
Supplies Needed: Hula hoop for each child
Great for a small group of children. Play music to make it more fun. At the 'Go' signal, players begin 'hula hooping' as long as they can. If the hula hoop drops or players touch it with their hands, they're out!

*Outdoor Scavenger Hunt
Supplies Needed: printed list of nature items for the hunt; a location where nature items such as rocks, bugs, leaves, etc. can be gathered
Give players or teams the printed list of nature items to find. Some suggestions are rock, leaf, bug, pine cone, twig, something red, yellow, orange, or other color. The first player or team to report back with all of their items wins the prize.

*Water Balloon Toss
Supplies Needed: balloons filled with water
Divide group into teams of two players and give each team a water balloon. Line the teams up an equal distance apart. Players toss the balloon to their partner; and, then, everyone steps back one step. Keep tossing the water balloon and taking a step back, until one team is left with an intact water balloon.

*Freeze Dance
Supplies Needed: boom box
Play some wild music and let all the kids dance. When you stop the music, everyone freezes. Any movement, and you're out. Award the prize to the last dancer standing, or to the best dancer.

*Bingo
Supplies Needed: Bingo set and lots of prizes
Cool down at the picnic table with Bingo. Adults and kids love to play, so you can use it during lulls before or after lunch, or when it just gets too hot to run around.

Answer 2

1. You could hide sweets or chocolates then hide them, and tell the kidz to go find them.
2. swing ball
3. With a ball - put children in a circle and randomly throw and whichever cathces first gets a prize or money or something.
4. One of the kids can stand in the middle of a circle made by the other kids and with a skipping rope spin round keeping the skipping rope on the floorand the other kids have to jump so the rope does not touch them if it does then they are up in the middle.
Hope i helped.

Answer 3

Bocce Ball

Answer 4

You should play GasBag! First you feed the kids a bunch of bean burritos and lots of chili. Give each kid a big plastic bag. Then you wait for the farts in the kids to buildup and let them fart a good juicy fart in the bag and then they stick the bag over each others head and the students who pass out are automatically out of the game. The last kid standing wins!! Pretty cool huh!!!

Answer 6

I hate these games but have them stand in a circle and hold hand with the person next to you then another hand with someone who is not. Then try to untagle yourselves and get in a complete circle again. It's possible... I had to do it at one of those stupid ice breaker games at college orientation :(

Answer 7
