4th of July Activities and Games are always a fun addition to your 4th of July celebrations. One of our family favorites is Tailgate toss, also known as the cornhole game. It is hugely popular on college campuses and at tailgate parties. What is so fun about this beanbag toss game is the all ages can play! You can play on teams or individually. How fun to run a patriotic themed Cornhole contest.. the winners get their own "Uncle Sam" hats to wear the rest of the day! Here is all the information you need on How to play the Cornhole Game.
This 4th of July party idea includes a home-made Frisbee toss, created by our college crowd. It was simple but fun. The kids set water bottles on top of ski poles and tossed the frisbee in an attempt to knock them off! There were lines of every age group attempting this feat. It was not as easy as it looked but fun for all. It was single elimination per player, one try and you either faced a new competitor or were out! It ended up drawing a crowd for the final round!
Late Night Light Up Game: We ran a Midnight Madness Bocce Ball Tournament. Once the polena was tossed, the official "spotter" wrapped one of the light up leis around it so the players could spot the target. Bocce is a fabulous family game. Over the years, the throws have landed the target in bushes, under trees and even across the street. Since it is easy and safe, all age groups play. They form teams, so you can have lots of participants. It is a great bonding game between the adults and the kids. Our kids have been playing with the guys since they were 5! Here's the set we have had for years - Park & Sun BB-109 Bocce Pro Set
