melt the ice

In this messy game children are divided into pairs and presented an ice cube on a paper plate. The ice cube has been colored with food coloring and in the middle of it is a penny. The object of the game is to be the first pair to retrieve the penny by melting (not breaking) their ice cube the fastest. This game gives the children a chance to be creative and come up with a strategy together. You do not have to color the ice cubes, this is done to make the game more visually fun.

bobbing for donuts 

For every participant you will need one donut. Hang each donut from the ceiling or a tree branch using string or ribbon. Make sure each donut is hanging low enough that each child can touch it with their mouth. To Play: Each participant takes their place in front of a hanging donut and places their hands behind their back. On the start of go they each try and eat their donut (without touching it with their hands) as fast as they can without dropping it. First one who finishes wins!

DIY Slip and slide

Don’t waste your money on the cheap yellow strips. Instead create your own slip in slide by using a large car tarp (or tarps). Lay it across your yard, hose it down, pour on some baby oil or dish soap to make it more slippery, and let the fun begin. Add some water balloons and/or water guns and the party will be made. WANT TO MAKE IT MESSIER? Instead of water cover it with pudding, jello, or oily spaghetti noodles! Yes it’s messy, but nothing that can’t be rinsed off with the hose plus it is something the kids will NEVER forget.

food fight!

A food fight is about as messy as it gets. Some things to think about if you want to get this messy is what foods you want to provide for throwing. Some popular food fighting foods are jello, peas, pudding, popcorn, spaghetti noodles, any food that won’t hurt. Consider providing goggles for eye protection and garbage bags to wear over clothes. A suggestion to make clean up easier is to have the food fight outside on cheap painters tarps that you can roll up and throw away after the parties over.

color war 

Have each child wear a white t-shirt that is ok to be colored. Divide all the kids into two to three teams. Each team is given a color and a water gun for each player. The water guns will be filled with water that has been dyed with food coloring to represent that teams color.

The object of the game is that of a paintball game, each player must try and tag other players with their color to make them “out”. For water shots to get another player out it must hit on the back, chest, or stomach. Arms and leg shots will not make another player out, and head shots are not allowed. The last player left in the game represents the winning team.

jelly bean mountain 

This is an indoor party game. To play you will create a mound of flour to look like a mountain of flour. This is best done on a cookie sheet or wax paper to make clean up easier. Flatten the peak of the mountain a little, or create a small pocket indent on the mountain tip to place a jelly bean or jelly belly in.

TO PLAY: Players pass around a spoon and take turns removing a spoonful of flour from the mountain. The player that eventually makes the jelly bean fall must dive into the flour and find and eat the jelly bean using only their mouths! After throw away the flour, create a new flour mountain and play again.
