4^th of July Party Ideas – Games

Flag Tag Relay

All you need for this game are buckets of sand and small American flags.   Divide the group into two teams.  Put a bucket of sand filled with small American flags across from the team at the opposite end of the yard.   The first person from each team runs to the appropriate bucket, grabs a flag, and marches (not runs) back to the team to tag the next person.   The first team to get back to the starting line wins.

Patriotic Ring Toss

4^th of July party ideas can include many homemade games.  This game is perfect for people of all ages.  Make nine dowels into scoring poles.  Put them into the ground in three rows with three in each row.  They should be spaced two feet apart.  The planted poles can be wrapped with red, white, and blue crepe-paper streamers.

Make rings out of sturdy colored paper plates.  If you can’t find the colors you want, then you can spray paint plain white ones.  With scissors, cut a large circle from the center of each plate.  Next, put two plates face to face and tape them together.  The tape should go all around the rim.  Make six rings.

Divide into two teams and give each person three tries to toss the ring around one of the poles.  The nearest row is worth 10 points, the middle row is worth 20 points, and the farthest row is worth 30 points. The team with the most points wins the game.
