Apple Bobbing Outdoor Party Game
by Grace Dailey
(California)
Get a barrel full of ice cold water. Then get 5-12 apples and put them in the barrel. They will then float. Form a line behind the barrel. The first person in line comes up to the barrel, gets down on there hands and knees (it all really depends on the height of the barrel), puts their face in the cold water and tries to pick up an apple, only using their teeth.
Once the person in line is done, either they have gotten an apple, or their face is too cold to do it any longer, it is the turn of the next person in line. If a person gets an apple they get a point and they can eat the apple (if of course they'd like to). At the end of the game, whoever gets the most apples wins.
Sponge Outdoor Party Race
by Moo
(Michigan 49103)
All you need is for this outdoor sponge race is 4 buckets and 2 sponges.
Fill the 2 buckets with water and put them in one spot.
Take the other 2 buckets and put them in front of the bucket filled with water but put it far away.
How to play:
You divide the groups into 2 and tell them to line up. Give the 2 groups each a sponge and they have to soak the sponge and run to the other bucket that doesn't have water and squeeze the water out. They then need to run back to their teammates and give them the sponge, each teammate repeats this.
This goes on and on until all the water in the bucket is gone, the first team to finish up all their water is the winning team!

Tie a ballon on every childs right foot leaving like two feet of sting. Then everyone need to pop each others balloons and the one with the last balloon wins. It's so much fun kids love this game but not for really young children.

Jail Wave Outdoor Party Game
by Avery Groufanguiser
(Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania )
This game is a mixture of Hide-n-Seek with a twist.
Pick someone to be IT. Let them set the timer for 3 to 4 minutes while the rest of the people hide. After the time is up IT has to try and find the hiders. After IT has found them they are sent to "jail" (any high elevated place will do, we used a trampoline). The person found has to stay in jail till a person who is still in hiding waves at them then they are free to go. But... if IT sees them getting away they are allowed to call them back to jail.
The game ends when IT has all the people in jail.
NO PUPPY GUARDING! (when a person guards a "safe" or "base" spot during a game of tag, forcing the person at the base to get tagged when they come out).
