The invitations are sent now the planning will begin.
I have thought of a couple of games using the Nerf Super Soakers in addition of course to a good old fashion water gun fight.
Beach Ball Score:
Each child in groups of two will stand opposite each other with a beach ball in the middle. At the start of Go! the children will use their super soakers to move the ball passed the other child to win the game!
Water Gun Cup Game:
With plastic disposable cups lined up on a table each child will squirt their cup with their super soakers to see who can knock their cup off the table first!
Gift Bags:
In addition to the goodies provided by House Party, I thought I would make gift bags for the children and include items for summer time fun. Many items can be purchased rather inexpensively from Oriental Trading in bulk.
Food:
Nothing says summer like grilling outdoors!
We plan to keep it simple and serve grilled hot dogs, fresh fruit kabobs, and homemade lemonade. For a little extra fun the kids can make their own ice cream with the play and freeze ice cream ball!
Leamonade
1 cup sugar (can reduce to 3/4 cup)
1 cup water (for the simple syrup)
1 cup lemon juice
3 to 4 cups cold water (to dilute)
Make simple syrup by heating the sugar and water in a small
saucepan until the sugar is dissolved completely.
While the sugar is dissolving, use a juicer to extract the
juice from 4 to 6 lemons, enough for one cup of juice.
Add the juice and the sugar water to a pitcher. Add 3 to 4
cups of cold water, more or less to the desired strength. Refrigerate 30 to 40
minutes. If the lemonade is a little sweet for your taste, add a little more
straight lemon juice to it.
Serve with ice, sliced lemons.
