Recipes Games and Party Ideas
Capture the Flag
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
At least 8 people
Red & Blue Bandannas (Each team should be one color
and every player should have a bandanna)
An area outside that's at least 30-40 feet wide.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Divide the players into two teams. Within the large
play area, establish end lines and a line down the center.
Each team should line up behind one of the end lines
and place their bandanna just inside the boundary line.
When someone says go, each team runs to the other team's
bandannas. Any player who is tagged before they can
pick up a bandanna is considered captured and must stand
behind the enemy flags. If a player is successful in
capturing a bandanna, they are safe from being tagged
and should run it back behind their own line. Players
can free their teammates by tagging them behind the
enemy line. However, they cannot do this at the same
time they are trying to capture a flag. It has to be
a separate run. The first team to capture all the other
team's flags is the winner!
Water Balloon Toss
WHAT YOU'LL NEED:
Small balloons
Water
As many people who want to play - the more people, the
more fun!
INSTRUCTIONS:
This is a lot of fun for both kids and adults on a hot
day! Fill several balloons with water. Divide players
into pairs and have each player stand across from each
other at least 10 to 15 feet apart. Give each team a
water filled balloon. When someone says go, have each
team begin to toss the balloon back and forth. The object
of the game is to come out dry, however if it's a very
hot day, you may prefer to lose in this game.
