Four active games for your July 4th picnic
If you’re anything like our family, the fourth of July means a family picnic loaded with food, food and more food. Burgers, hotdogs, surf n’ turf. Ice Cream. Cakes. And every other great-aunt bringing their favorite desert with whipped cream. Our Independence Day picnic rival that of the Thanksgiving dinner when it comes to food. So this year I thought I should introduce some games and activities we can all do while waiting for the grill to heat.
Here are four catchy games that anyone can play for a patriotic and active celebration of your July 4th picnic.
1. Tug-of-war. Red vs. Blue. North vs. South. You can make this as patriotic and fun as you can.
2. Flag-tag relay. All you need are small American flags and everyone can play.
3. Soggy jog relay. The best part of this is getting wet. The worst fun part is getting wet.
4. Pool game: pass-the-ball relay is fun way everyone can spend time in the pool, even when they don’t want to swim. You can even modify this for use on land.
Have fun with these games and if you want more games and activities, check out Family Fun! Just remember stay hydrated and be safe when playing actively outdoors.
