| Army Party | Goodie Bags:
To hold the goodies use camouflage bandanas, green bags or plastic helmets. Place in Army men, compass, toy binoculars, canteen, paper airplanes, dog tags (make with string or yarn and tag board covered with foil, add their names with permanent marker). And if not too much, you could even purchase olive colored shirts.
Games and Activities:
It will be like a training course; with each activity the kids gain points and rank. They all will start out as privates.
• Rope climb: From a tree or swing set; Time the kids going up.
• Tug of War: Make two teams, kids will get the same amount of points for the winning team.
• Pack up relay: Find or borrow full size backpacks and things that would go inside (canteens, compass, pack of food, plate, etc); You will need one pack per team and one item per person; Have the team’s line up with their pack; The first person must run to the pile of item ¹1, with the pack on, put it into the pack, put the pack back on and run back to their team...continue through teammates.
Army Men Hunt: Hide plastic Army men outside and let the kids find them. May score by how many they get.
Other Ideas:
Arm Wrestling Competition
Water Fight to cool off - Use the grenade water balloons; Put up barricades for the kids to hide behind.
