Jar Ring Toss

Prepare a 28" square board by driving twenty-three 3" nails into it at an angle. Hang the board on the wall or stand it on a table at shoulder height. Give the player ten rings, and have him/her stand ten feet from the board and throw the rings. For added interest, give the rings different point values. Keep score.

 

Burst the Balloons

Divide into two groups. Put two straight chairs in the middle of the room. Select a person to stand behind each chair and place balloons on the seat. The object of the game is to see which group can burst all their balloons first. As each player bursts their balloon, they quickly move out of the way for the next person. One balloon will be filled with water. Pick a good sport to break that balloon.

 

Banana Race

Give each player a banana with the instructions to peel and eat it while holding one hand behind them. On a given signal, they begin. The first one who finishes and whistles is the winner.

 

Balloon Instructions

Divide the group into two teams and give each player a balloon. Inside every balloon is a small slip of paper with the same written instructions. The object of the game is to see which group can first complete the tasks of blowing up their balloons, popping them, reading the instructions, and carrying out the instructions. (Create your own instructions.)
