Big Foot Relay. Have the children add 2 shoeboxes with them. Tape the lids onto the boxes, then cut a one-inch-wide and four-inch long slit in every top. Have the contestants slip their feet into the slits in the boxes and race.

Frisbee Tower. Buy a bunch of mini Frisbees and place them in a pile in the middle of the yard. Have the guests carve up the Frisbees among themselves. The first player begins the activity by setting one of his or her Frisbees on the earth. Each of the following players places his or her Frisbee on top of the first Frisbee, and the action continues until someone causes the growing tower to topple.

Pick Pocket Tag. Put a strip of cloth in each player’s back pocket. Have the players try to grab each other’s strips without having their own strip taken. The player with the most cloth strips wins the game.

Kill the Cockroach. Divide the players into 2 teams. Line them up, one in front of the other and set an odd object in front of the first players in line. They must kick the object crossways the yard and the across the end line to win a point for their team. Kick things like a pillow, empty can, a sock, and so on.
