Hey Mamas! We are having a picnic for the holiday. I purchased a 5 gallon cooler thinking that would be best for the children but now I am second guessing myself and thinking we should just purchase juices and bottled water to prevent dealing with cups. What do you think? I we use the 5 gallon cooler with the spout what should I put in it besides water?
I would like to have the old school sack race, what can we use for this?
any other game ideas?
TIA
Lemonade in the Igloo and a sharpie marker to write names on the cups so at least some of the people will reuse them! Duct tape a string to the sharpie and tie on to the Igloo so it doesn't get lost.
Trashbags for the sack race.
3 legged race
water ballon toss
egg on a spoon race.
Tap water w/ice in the cooler is much more economical than buying bottled water and you won't go crazy when you find half-used bottles all over the place later on. 9oz cups are a good size w/ a marker for putting their name on the cup. You could also get some juice boxes at Sam's or Costco.
A fun game we've played that is good for kids about 5 & up. Get some old adult size t-shirts and the night before the party, get them soaking wet (ring out excess water) and wadd them up and put them in the freezer over night. Give each kid a frozen t-shirt and the first one to get it pulled apart and put on their body wins. Enjoy your party!
