Water Balloon Tarp Catch
You'll need a large, open area such as a soccer field, plenty of water balloons and about 10 people to play this game of catch. Divide your group into two teams and give each team a tarp or queen size bed sheet. Each team should also get a bucket or two full of water balloons. Have the teams stand about 50 yards apart from each other. One team will hold their tarp or sheet flat, lifting it above the ground. The other team will throw balloons at the tarp, attempting to land them on it. The team with the tarp can move forward and back and side to side in an attempt to dodge the balloons. Switch teams once all of one team's balloons are used up. The team with the most balloons on the tarp at the end of the round wins.
Silly Tag Games
Make tag a bit sillier by putting a different spin on it. Silly versions of tag include the following: freeze tag, where players must freeze when tagged; shadow tag, where players are tagged by their shadows; and Blob tag. To play Blob tag, choose two people to be "it." They must hold hands while they run around, attempting to tag the other players. When they do tag someone, that person becomes part of the blob. The game goes on until everyone has joined the Blob. The last two people tagged become the Blob in the next round.
Posing Games
Posing games test people's speed and ability to think on their feet. In these, an object is called out and players must find partners to pose with them in the form of that object as quickly as possible. Whoever does not find a group to pose with is out. For instance, two people can stand with their hands together over their heads to form a house, or two people get on their hands and knees and have a third climb on their backs to make a pyramid. The more unusual and silly the objects you choose, the more fun the game is.
