Family Picnic
Summer time means Family Picnic time. Fire up the grill and lets get this party started.
While eating is a great activity you will need a few games or crafts planned to keep family members busy while the food cooks.
Family Picnic Activities
Tug-of-war
All you need for this game is a long rope and an even number of participants. Divide the group into two teams. Mark a center line on the ground using a twig, tape or powdered chalk. Each member of the team grabs onto the ends of the rope and on the word "go" they try to pull the other team over the center line.
Sack Races
You will need a sack or pillowcase for each racer. Mark a starting line and about 50 yards away mark the finish line. You can race one on one or in larger groups. Each participant climbs into the sack and holds it up. On the word "go" they try to make it to the finish line first.
Corn Hole Game
If you have never heard of this game before, you are missing out on some good clean fun. Learn how to play Cornhole
Volleyball
Set up a volleyball net and let the fun begin.
Some other fun items to have handy are: Frisbee, Hula hoops and Kites.
Family Picnic Food and Drinks
Feeding a crowd can be expensive but it can also be fun. You can ask family members to each bring an item to the picnic to share with everyone.
