There are tons of different games you can play in and around the water. Whether you’re looking for group games for a crowd or just want to have some fun with your family, we’ve got you covered.

Water Games for the Lake

When it comes to the lake, we know the one thing all lakes have in common… water! There are so many traditional water games that are great to share with the kiddos. Here’s a list of a few of our favorites you’ll want to give a try.

What are some good water games for the lake?

If you are looking for a list of fun water games for the lake, take a look at a few of these examples.

1. Marco Polo: This classic game is a great way to get everyone moving and enjoying the water. To play, one person is “it” and closes their eyes while counting to 20. This is a perfect pool game if you have one!

The other players swim around and yell “Marco” when they’re close to the person who is “it”. The goal is for the person who is “it” to tag another player. If they’re successful, that player becomes “it” for the next round.

2. Water Balloon Toss: This water game is perfect for a hot day! All you need is a water balloon for each player and a way to keep score.

To play, players stand in a line and toss the balloon to the person behind them. If the balloon pops, that player is out. The last person standing is the winner!

3. Duck, Duck, Goose: This game is a childhood favorite for a reason! To play, one person is “it” and walks around the circle of players tapping each person on the head while saying “duck”.

When they tap someone and say “goose”, that player must chase them around the circle. If the player who is “it” makes it all the way around without getting caught, they stay “it”! Make it a refreshing game by dumping a cup of water over their head when you say “goose”.

4. Cannon Ball / Belly Flop Contest: If you love a good challenge, who can make the biggest splash with their front end or back end might be a fun game. This funny game is especially great with some drunk dads that hate to loose.

After the kids are down, drinking games are always fun for the adults. Just like beer pong only classier. You could also look at these wine party games or beer party games for a larger list.

Add the games early in the trip because by the end of the week, most of the adults might find themselves exhausted, wanting to kick their feet up and snuggle under the blanket on the dock.

Bring fun and laughter with this Birthday Scavenger Hunt for kids and adults. Create a new family tradition or use at a Scavenger Hunt Birthday Party to collect presents with these 20 Birthday Treasure Hunt clues.

Birthday Scavenger Hunt

We love ideas to twist up the traditional family birthday. By doing something out of the ordinary, you create “special moments” when celebrating the birthday of a loved one. Add birthday breakfasts, flood a bedroom with balloons, or organized a birthday parade! These unique moments, because they are out of the ordinary, create a filed memory in one’s head.

If you’re looking for a creative and fun way to celebrate your child’s birthday, then consider planning a birthday scavenger hunt! It’s a fun twist on traditional gift giving and makes getting birthday presents so exciting.

Scavenger Hunt Birthday Party

Birthday Scavenger Hunt Ideas can be done with family and/or friend. In fact, add this activity to your child’s party for a fun adventure and party game that their guests will always remember. The best part is that your child gets to work with their friends to solve the birthday riddles to find the clues that lead to their gift. Once all the presents are gathered, sit down and have fun opening them with family and friends.

birthday scavenger hunt clue 1

Here’s how the birthday treasure hunt works:

To pull of the best scavenger hunt party idea, you need to do a little prep.

Schedule: Scavenger hunts can be done anytime during the kid’s birthday party, or as a closing activity that will keep all of your guests entertained to the very last minute.

What you need: You’ll need this Birthday Scavenger Hunt pdf, scotch tape, and gifts with clues attached to each.

Set up: Print the pages out on cardstock with a color printer. You’ll also need to cut out the individual scavenger hunt clues and attach them to items in your house that all lead back to where you will hide the birthday gifts. If you have 15 birthday gifts, use 15 clues. If you have more than 20 birthday gifts, have two gifts at one clue setting.

Rules:  To make this work in a party setting, you’ll want to explain the scavenger hunt rules to the kids and remind them that they will work together to find all of the clues in order to find the birthday presents. Working together will be a great way to teach teamwork, problem solving, and planning skills. No to mention, building excitement about the gifts!

Time: Include a time limit for the kids to find the birthday presents so that everyone is kept on their toes. A time limit of 20 or 30 minutes works well, especially for opening presents.

Now it’s time to get started.

Here’s an example of how it’s done:

The first clue is: It is your birthday and we have a lot of clues. The first one is found where you put your shoes. After reading the clue aloud, the kids would think through where they put their shoes and go to that location, such as by the front door.

how to have a birthday scavenger hunt party

Next up: At this point, you might be tempted to stop. Keep going and look in the place where at night you plop. Once again, read this clue aloud and send them on their way to find the next one, in this case their bedroom bed!

Remember to scatter the clues out so that no one finds all of the clues in one location. Kids follow each clue to find a new gift. Travel from the washing machine, to the play room, utensil drawer, bedroom and more.

Each at home scavenger hunt clue should lead to another in a fun, exciting game of ‘hot and cold’ so that the kids are searching all over your home for clues.

At the last clue is a great place to have the goodie bags for all of the kids. When the clue searching is done, the birthday scavenger hunt gets really fun because it’s time for gifts and cake! Have the kids gather around the table and enjoy their hard work with ice cream, treats at each spot, and lots of cake!

There are so many ways to celebrate a child’s birthday, but this Birthday Scavenger Hunt is such a creative and memorable idea that your birthday child will love. Planning this for your kid’s next birthday celebration could be just what you need to make sure everyone has a blast! Have fun and enjoy your child’s big day.

What are some fun trampoline games?

Growing up, I recall some incredible games on the trampoline. However, if I try to bring up some of the retro and classic trampoline games with my kids, I completely cannot recall how to play trampoline games or even what resources they required. It’s like a complete mind blank. That was my purpose for creating this printable trampoline games set. The set includes old and new trampoline games and even some land games you can bring to the trampoline mat.
