Water Brigade
As one of the urgent assignments, your unit must put out a fire that is destroying civilian crops!! Divide everyone into two teams and line up the teams next to each other. Then, put a bucket full of water at the head of each line and give the first kid in each line a large cup full of water. About 40 ft away, place an empty bucket for each team. Then blow a whistle or say "GO!", The first person in each team runs to the empty bucket, pours the water into it, and races back to their team with the empty cup. They then give the empty cup to the next teammate who fills the cup, runs to the bucket, pours the water in it and brings the cup back to the next player. When each team member has run down and back again (or to make it longer, run down and back again twice) the game is over. To see which team has carried the most water down, insert sticks into each bucket and compare the water lines.
Water Balloon War
Construct two walls (made out of cardboard and spray-painted camouflage), then use the water balloons the kids made during the ice breaker activities to start the water war between two groups. (Tip: there is no such thing as too many water balloons!!).
Obstacle Course
As obstacles, you can use tires to run through, a rope to swing across a water hazard such as an inflatable pool, tunnels made from cardboard refrigerator boxes spray-painted green, weaving through garbage cans, potato sack jumping, crawling under Special Forces nets (if you don't have Special Forces nets take 8 garden stakes and make 4 columns, then attach strings to the stakes by crisscrossing across so that the kids can crawl under), and of course jumping jacks to build up a healthy appetite. While all this theme party action is taking place, parents can blow whistles, squirt the kids with water guns and throw water balloons at them. Make sure you have course-completion medals.

Tug-O-War
This is one of the classic birthday party games. You can also get the adults to help with tugging. Just get a long rope and possibly put a plastic swimming pool with water between the teams.
The Balloon Pop
This is a great way to get the kids to interact. Prepare a bunch of balloons ahead of time, each with a paper inside that has a different instruction (such as 'Do 10 jumping jacks', 'Do 5 push ups', 'Collect a game prize', 'Trade game prizes with anyone', 'Tell someone else to do 10 jumping jacks', etc). Have the kids take balloons one by one, pop them and fill out the instructions.
Grenade Targets
Prepare camouflage bean bags (grenades) and have the kids throw them at cans filled with a little bit of sand or dirt, or into trash cans, chalk-painted circles on the driveway or even spray-painted circles on your lawn (don't worry, it grows out…). Most points wins.
Rescue the Injured Soldiers
Split the kids into two groups. In each group designate two that are injured. The kids have to run across the yard to their injured teammates and wrap them up with a whole roll of toilet paper, lay them on the gurney or stretcher (beach towel) and carefully carry them (one kid at each corner) to the home base and run back to get the other injured soldier, wrap & carry them back to be the first team to win the race.
Special Forces Arm Wrestling Competition
This is a great way to get everyone cheering for one another (get the adults to play as well).
