Picnic Games for Adults - 03

Dad Challenge

Equipment:

Clothesline, phone, toy baby doll, basket of clothes, clothe pins

Play:

Hang a clothesline at the party scene, then hand each player a phone, a baby (doll of course), a basket of clothes and some clothe pins. The object of the game is to have each player hold the baby properly, while on the phone and hanging clothes. They must at all times be chatting on the phone and hold the baby as if it were real. See how many clothes they can hang on the line in 60 seconds, but the object of the game is to see if they can handle a mom’s job for 60 seconds without dropping the child or the phone. Good Luck and Enjoy! Dads of all ages and men in general are encouraged to play this game. Have all men, teenagers and especially, fathers give it a try. This is a great game for father/son outings. It is hilarious to see them juggle so hard to keep that baby in their arms.

Spew

Equipment:

ALKA-SELTZER and some carbonated clear drink... such as Sprite, 7UP, maybe Ginger Ale, or Squirt

Play:

Tell each of your participants to place a single ALKA-SELTZER underneath their tongue. Don't worry.. they won't be able to taste or swallow it with it under the tongue.

Now... give them each a cup of the clear carbonated drink. Fill it with about 3 or 4 ounces. The OBJECT is to see who can hold it in their mouth the longest, but trust me, it will EXPLODE and SPEW out of their mouths! I wouldn't advise swallowing it. It won't hurt them but...YUCK! They must have at least a couple ounces in order for it to work... though it is not about how much they can "drink." It's about how long they can hold it.

Three-Legged Balloon Race

Equipment:

Balloons and bandanas

Play:

Put your heads together and race!

This game is for 6 or more players and should be played outside or in an open area. Split into pairs and give each pair a balloon and a bandana. Standing side by side, have teammates use the bandana to tie their legs together. Then, teammates have to hold the balloon between their heads and race to the end of the playing field and back. If they drop their balloon, they have to start all over again. The team that gets back to the starting line first wins. Ready, set, go!
