Cool Games Ideas:
Flag Football- Guys against girls or combine players. Put two kiddy blow-up pools on each touch down goal pads.
~~~~~~
Foam Frisbees - Make a target out of plywood or foam core board (available at art supply stores) for Frisbees. Paint the board with a fun design and cut out holes large enough for the Frisbees to go through. Each player gets to throw three Frisbees at the target. It's helpful to have at least two sets of Frisbees on hand so one helper can chase Frisbees while the other helper works with the next person in line.

OLYMPIC GAME SUGGESTIONS
Make an Olympic Torch. Have teams with at least 2 runners on each team (preferably 4 runners), and have a relay race by passing the torch.
Set up an obstacle course at park using lawn furniture, old tires, and anything else you can find that people have to go around, climb under or over, and go through.
Make some Water Weights and have a weight lifting competition.
Play volleyball, but instead of trying to hit the ball back and forth, each team must catch the ball with a blanket and throw it back the same way!
Set up six 2-liter soda pop bottles (put a few inches of water in the bottom of each bottle) like bowling pins, and see who can knock the most down by kicking a soccer ball.
Make your own Bean Bags and have a throwing competition. Use boxes, cans, paper bags, etc to make targets.
Try this peanut toss game. Who can get the most peanuts in?
Try a Tug-O-War team! For added fun, place the center of the rope over a small, inflatable swimming pool. From pulling, whomever team who touches the water in the pool first loses.
Put an egg on a spoon and walk across an area; make an obstacle course if you like. If you don't want to use an egg, try a marshmallow.
Have a discus and/or javelin-throwing contest using paper plates and drinking straws.
Make tennis rackets and set up a tennis competition.

BALLOON BRIGADE RELAY RACE
This fast-paced race lets winners go out with a real bang. Need: balloons.
1. Assemble each team in single file with the first player in each line holding a balloon.
2. When the whistle blows, each lead player passes the balloon between her legs to the next person in line. Each recipient, in turn, passes the balloon overhead to the teammate directly behind her.
3. The balloon is passed alternately between players' legs and over players' heads all the way down the line. When the last person receives the balloon, he or she races to the front of the line and the balloon pass resumes.
4. The relay continues in this fashion until one of the original players regains position at the front of her line and pops the team balloon.
~~~~~~
SUCKER
Suck or eat a long strand of licorice as fast as you can. Very long thin pieces of licorice for each player. As many players you can get to play. Need: Buy a big box of strawberry laces or licorice (the longer the better). Everyone has to put one end in his or her mouths. The idea is to lick/suck up the lace without using your hands as quick as possible. The room will go silent with the concentration then explode in a fit of giggles when every sees everyone else looking silly! The winner is the first to eat their lace all up yes they can chew donât want them to choke.
~~~~~~
CHEETOS HEAD
Try to throw Cheetos at your teammate and make them stick to their head covered with shaving cream. 6 or more players. Needs: plastic shower caps, Cheetos, and shaving creams. One person is seated on a chair. A plastic shower cap (or plastic wrap) is placed on the individual's head. Shaving cream is applied over the entire shower cap. The other team member or members stand behind a line opposite the seated player. During a preset period of time (60-120 seconds), team members throw Cheetos at the seated player and attempt to get them to stick on the shaving cream. The seated player can assist by moving his head to help "catch" the Cheetos.
The team with the most Cheetos stuck on the shaving cream wins.
~~~~~~
WATER BALLOON TOSS
Try to catch water balloons! Need: water balloons. With each successful catch move further and further apart. Pair off players into groups of two and have them face their partner about 3 feet apart. Begin tossing balloons to each other. Every time the balloon is caught the player that caught the balloon takes a step back. Eventually someone is going to get wet!
You win by being the furthers apart while still successfully catching the water balloon
~~~~~~
BLIND BEACH VOLLEYBALL (Set This Up Before Guests Arrive)
Volleyball played with a beach ball and with no visibility to the other side of the court. Active. A lot of movement may be required. 6 or more players. Needs: Volleyball court and net, beach ball and sheets or blankets. Standard volleyball rules apply. Except that a blanket or sheet is draped over the net preventing each team from knowing when the ball is coming. A beach ball should be used instead of a standard volleyball. One team serves and the other team has three hits to get it over the net. Serves cannot be returned on the first hit. The first hit for the receiving team must be an underhand hit (a bump). If the ball touches the ground before going over the net, it is returned to the other team for another serve. If a serving team can keep the opposing team from returning the ball, they score a point. If the serving team allows the ball to touch the ground or has greater than three hits, the ball moves to the other team and they serve. The ball must stay within the court boundaries or else a side out results. First team to 15 wins.
~~~~~~
FROZEN T-SHIRT CONTEST
Get your frozen T-shirts on first. Active. A lot of movement may be required. As many players you want. Need: frozen T-shirts. T-Shirts are thoroughly soaked the day before and folded up like you would put them away in a drawer. Place them in the freezer overnight. For the contest, everyone grabs a frozen T-shirt and the first one to get their T-shirt all the way on wins. You can have as many players as you have T-shirts. The contestants can do anything to try and get their shirts apart. Some sit on them trying to warm them up, some have poured drinks on them trying to get them to melt. Have them use their imagination as to how they will get the shirt undone and on.

WATER BALLOON TOSS THROW (Itâs just like the game of Dodge Ball or Laser Paint Gun, only you will get wet and stained) Fill the balloon with water and few drops of food color (or any dye color to get the real color out) inside the balloon, do this outside or in the sink plus wear old clothes while doing this. Use several of color to make team. Rule of this game is not to throw above the breast/chest to the face/head. If someone did⦠is out of the game. And arenât allow to throw hard, you only allow to toss throw. It is safer and everyone will have a good time. Divide the team by food color choice. Call friends/family and have them buy balloons and give them the choice of food color and let them do this at home and bring it to the party. This way you have tons of balloons not to do it yourself. Also you got to pick the team for them without them knowing who is on his/her team⦠You get the ideas! Needs: water balloons, select of food colors or dye colors. Or you rather use water gun instead of the balloons... I prefer to do balloons, cuz' water gun runs out fast of water.
PS. Tell your guests to wear old white shirt and old short or bring it to the party. Because once you are hit, the dye will not come off the clothes⦠they also can wear swimsuit, if you want to.

The Piñaqua Piñata
1. Using your backyard hose, fill a medium-sized plastic trash bag with one to two gallons of water. Knot the top of the bag.
2. Tie one end of the rope tightly beneath the knot. Toss the free end of the rope over a tree branch (a parent's job) and either tie it securely or have the adult stand by to raise and lower the piñaqua.
3. To play, each kid takes a turn getting blindfolded, getting spun around three times, and then taking three whacks at the piñaqua with the piñata stick. The winner is the one who manages to break the bag and unleash the tidal wave. Needs: Medium-sized trash bag (we used a clear, 10-gallon bag), water, rope, tree, bandanna or scarf, and piñata stick
