3. Kids Fourth of July Scavenger Hunt:
5. Water Balloon Revolutionary War:
What kid doesn’t love a scavenger hunt? This fun game will keep the young ones occupied and make them feel included in the revelry! First, make a list of holiday and patriotic- themed items that will be fun to include in the scavenger hunt. Some suggestions include:
Children and kids at heart will have a ball playing this fun outside game! First, the group should be split into two teams. Both teams are supplied with buckets of water balloons and separated at a reasonable distance. The goal of the game is for each team to make their way over to the other team’s base while avoiding getting hit with water balloons. If a player is hit with a water balloon, they automatically become a member of the other team. The team that manages to get the most players across to the other team’s base without getting hit is declared the winner.
• A flag • Something red • Something white • Something blue
• A copy of the Declaration of Independence • Something with a President’s face on it
Use your imagination! Let all players know that the first contestant to find everything on the list wins. Give each participant a copy of the list of items to be found or if they are old enough to have cell phones, have them take a photo of the master list. You may want to consider getting a small prize to reward the child who wins this game.
4. Who Am I? July 4th Edition:
This can be played as a straight guessing game or, if you prefer, it can be played as a form of Pictionary. Each contestant picks the name of a historical person from the Revolutionary War era. When it’s their turn to play, they will either give oral clues about their identity or if playing the Pictionary version, will draw things to give the other players hints as to who they are. Whoever guesses correctly most often wins the game!
