Outdoor Ship Party Game
by Neva
( California, USA)
This is a great game to play outdoors!
Materials needed:
Get two refrigerator, or washer/dryer cardboard packing boxes and cut in half to form two ships. If you can't find them, you can use plastic tubs. Decorate them into two separate ships, or have the kids decorate them. Purchase a can or two of ping-pong balls or other soft lightweight non injuring type balls.
Directions:
Set the ships far enough apart, but yet close enough for the children to land some of the ping-pong balls inside the ships.
To Play:
Form two teams. Each team gets into their selected ships. At the command of the leader, they shoot their "guns"/"cannons" by hand throwing ping-pong balls at the opponents' ship until they run out of ping-pong balls. The ship with the most ping-pong balls found in it, is the ship that has been sunk.
For Ages: 2-10
This is great for these theme parties: Beach Theme, Pirate Party Theme, Titanic Theme, Ship/Boat Party Theme, Gilligan's Island Team, etc. Just change the ships decoration and the language used to fit the theme.
Can be played indoors or outdoors depending on available room space (but definitely a party game that is most fun to play outdoors!)
