GAMES

  1. Round-up: Form teams. Each team gets a balloon and broom. They need to drive the "cow" balloon through obstacle course.
  2. Lasso: Need: 4 Embroidery hoops, Cardboard, cut out cactus shape large enough to hold hoops. If you use boxes you can incorporate the stand into the cactus. Players try to toss hoop over cactus limb.
  3. Rattlesnake: Need: Tube sock, newspaper, something that rattles. Place the rattle in the end of the sock and stuff with newspaper. Tie off end. Decorate to look like a snake. This is a Hot Potato game. Toss the rattlesnake around to music, when the music stops, person holding the rattlesnake is out.
  4. Pin the star in the sheriff. Like pin the Tail on the Donkey but make a picture of a Sheriff with a star out-line. Give each child a star cut-out with tape on back. Blindfold a child and see who comes closest to the star outline.
  5. Gold Rush: Need pennies. Bury pennies in sand and let kids find them.
