Ultimate Dodge Ball Tag

What you will need: 

• Balls that won't hurt if you when you throw it (2/person)
• 4 or more players

How to Play:

The goal of the game is to get as many people down as you can without getting tagged yourself.  Everyone gets 2 balls to start.  Have time limit so everyone can start over.  You might ask, "Why do you need the balls?"  SO you can block or throw them at someone.  If you throw a ball and it hits someone they have to sit down.  If it hits them on the head, the person who threw has to sit down.  If two people tag each other they have to do Rock, Paper, Scissor.  The loser must sit down.  If the person who tagged you sat down, you can stand up.  Stop when the time runs out and start over.  No real winners or losers.

Super Mouse

Super Mouse is game for 10 or more people. You will also need 3 balls for the "cats."

How to Play:

Pick 3 people to be the cats.  Everyone else is a mouse.  The cats close their eyes while you select 3 Super Mice.  Super Mice have the ability to help the mice that are down and try to stay a secret from the cat.  The cats goals are to guess all the Super Mice.  They do this by tagging other mice and watching.  When a mouse gets tagged they have to sit down.  Only Super Mice can tag them again and get them back in the game.  When a Super Mouse gets tagged, s/he has to count to 10 before getting up again.  Super Mice have to be careful though so the Cats don't know its them.  They might wait longer or until more mice are near before getting back up.  After a set time everyone stops and the cats have to guess who the Super Mice are.  Each cat gets one guess.  If the cats get 2 out of 3 mice, they win.  If not, the mice win.

20 Questions

20 questions or 20 answers is just fun to play! To play you need 2-20 players. One player thinks of a person, place, animal, or thing.  The other players ask yes or no questions. Keep guessing until you either use up all your questions or guess what it is.  Here’s an example:

Answer: Unicorn

1.     Is it an animal?                              Yes

2.    Is it a small animal?                      No

3.    Is it an herbivore?                         Yes

4.    Can you find it in the zoo?         No

5.    Does it live in the jungle?            No

6.    Have we seen it before?                  No

7.    Does it live in the water?             No

8.    Does it live in the desert?             No

9.    Is it real?                                         No

10. Is it a dragon?                               No

11.   Does it fly?                                     Yes

12.  Is it a phoenix?                               No

13.  Is it a manticor?                            No

14.  Is it a unicorn?                              YES!

The person who guessed the right animal won so they get to think of the next one.       

Mom's Note: For a Party Game twist, fill a bag up with unusual props.  The person has to choose one of those objects as the thing.  All the people asking have to use a silly voice or Hop on one leg while talking.  When someone guesses what it is, they win the prop or they have to do something silly with the prop.

Electricity

Electricity is a game for 5 or more people. Choose 1 person to be “it.” All the other players can sit or stand in a circle holding hands.  Then the person who is “it” stands in the middle of the circle and shuts his/her eyes. One player then says “I`m turning the lights on.” Then “It” opens his/her eyes. One person starts the current by squeezing the player’s hand next to him.  If the person who is “it” spies someone’s hand being squeezed, the player who just squeezed that player’s hand becomes “it.”  Continue this until you want to stop.  Goodbye!

Mom’s note: If you want to play this game with a big group of people, split up into two teams.  Have the person who is “it” become the judge instead.  Each team makes a straight line holding hands.  The judge holds hands with each team at the end of the line.  When the judge says, “I’m turning the lights on,” both teams start the current down the line.  Whoever gets to the judge first, wins.  

Duck, Duck....Moose

Tots are sure to enjoy this game .It`s similar to “Duck, Duck, Goose” only change up a little! Instead of saying “Goose,” you say “Moose.”  Instead of running, you gallop.  Here are some other examples:

*Scooby, Scooby, Doo- Instead of running normal, run on all fours.

*Princess, Princess, Frog- Instead of running, jump like a frog.

*Monster, Monster, Boo- While running, use your monster growl!

*Police, Police, Fireman- While running you can pretend to put out fires or make a siren noise. 

There are endless possibilities.  What are some of your ideas?
