Button Snap

Draw a starting line and a goal line. Place a button for each player on the starting line. Also give each player a button. Players press the edge of their button against the other button to make it fly a distance. If the button leaves the game area, it is returned to the starting line. The player whose button reaches the finish line first is the winner.

 

Bow Tie Relay

Form two sides, giving the first player of each side an old bow tie. At a given signal the first player ties it in a bow around the neck of the second player. The second player unties it and ties it around the neck of the third player. This continues until one side wins.

 

Potato Race

Form two teams and have the players seated. Start a potato relay at the beginning of each side. The potato must be passed with the two feet. If the potato should hit the floor, it is brought back to the first person and started again.

 

Paper Duel

The players are paired off and blindfolded. Each duelist is given a tightly rolled newspaper as a weapon to be held in the right hand. The left hand grasps one end of a yard stick. Being unable to see, the blows to the enemy are not too accurate. Allow four minutes and then choose another pair.
