This is a great game for ages 8-88. You will need a small dry erase board for each player and a dry erase marker.  We found a great deal at the Dollar Store. All players are given a word prompt. Flip a coin to determine if players must come up with a word (or words if they choose) that comes before or after the prompt word. Heads it comes before, Tails it comes after.

PROMPT EXAMPLE

ANSWER EXAMPLES

blanket run

This game is perfect for a child and adult combo so that's definitely how I suggest setting up your teams. This will require a blanket for each team and that's all. You can play this game in a big indoor room or in a yard, whichever is ideal for you. So you will need to set up like a race space just like a start line and a finish line. Have all your players at the start line with the child sitting on the blanket and the adult holding it in a way they can pull. The adult will pull the blanket the child must stay on and the first team to the finish wins.

sock wrestling 

This is a fun wrestling game where the all guests get to participate in. To play each guest removes their shoes and their right sock. Everyone gets on their hands and knees and tries to remove other players' socks while keeping theirs on. If their sock gets removed they are out of the game. The player with the last remaining sock on wins! Make sure you mark off the “ring” so everyone will know what the playing boundaries are. This can be done simply, by using some kind of markers. Make sure to set rules like no hitting or sitting on your socks. Then enjoy and lest the wrestling commence.

dodgeball

This game is perfect for family reunions because you can have as many or little people and is super adjustable to family size. The objective of dodgeball is to eliminate all players of the opposing team by throwing balls and hitting the opposing player below the shoulders on the fly. All the other rules are super adjustable and customizable to your family but it’s super important to decide and let all the players know beforehand to avoid arguments. Once that's all settled, have fun and enjoy the game!

Shake, shimmy, jump, and dance around until all of the balls have fallen out of the tissue box. No using your hands and no laying down! The first to get all the balls out wins!
