- Bowling Like Crazy: find silly things that can be knocked over by a ball like plastic milk cartons, pizza boxes, empty cans arranged in a cool way and line them up. Let the kids knock them over with tennis balls or soccer balls
- Drag the Kid: if you have a combination of smaller children, you might want to have an adult near for this game. Divide your group into two smaller teams. Find two big blankets and have one member of the team lie on the blanket and have the remaining team members pull the blanket across the finish line before the other team. Make sure that the pathway is free of rocks or other obstacles that could hit the child in the blanket in the back.
