Playing Card Wallet
1) Find three playing cards you like. Lay them about 1/4 inch apart side-by-side with the faces towards you.
2) Tape the three cards together with clear packing tape.
3) Repeat this process to make another set of three playing cards.
4) Lay the two sets of cards beside each other (so that the cards make a 3 x 2 rectangle) with the faces towards you.
5) Connect the two pieces with clear packing tape.
6) Turn the cards over, and cover any sticky parts with tape (sticky part to sticky part).
7) Turn the cards over again, and fold the cards toward each other, so that the faces are pointing outwards.
8) Tape the two shorts sides together.
9) Three of the four sides should now be joined together. Your wallet is now complete, put your money in, fold it up, and put it in your pocket.
Tomato
Everyone sits in a circle. One person who is it stands in the center of the circle. This Person is called ” It”.
Each person asks the person who is “it” an appropriate question. The only answer to every question has to be answered as ” Tomato “.
The first person to make the center person ( It ) laugh wins a try in the middle.
Ex: What color is your hair? Tomato. What do you brush your teeth with? Tomato .
(Obviously other funny Questions can be used for variety )
GORP
GORP is a trail mix that stands for “good old raisins and peanuts, or “granola, oats, raisins, and peanuts”, or “gobs of raw protein”.
Put in some peanuts, raisins, granola, m&m’s or reeses pieces, and whatever else sounds good but wont melt in the heat. Stir. Separate into baggies and throw a couple into your back pack, next time you’re out hiking or camping, etc.
Capture the Flag
There are two teams.
Team 1 has the front yard and Team 2 has the back yard, or a field was split between the two teams. The teams are given a time period, like 5 minutes, to hide their flag in their part of the yard.
[optional] During this period spies were sent out to see were the flag was hidden as well as look-outs to catch the spies.
When the flag is hidden you call out that you are finished. Then you simply try to get the other teams flag. If you get caught and tagged by the opponent on their territory you had to go to jail and could only be freed by a teammate who grabs you when your opponent isn’t looking.
The first team to capture the flag wins. In most versions you had to both get the flag, and bring it back to your side.
