Determine the doneness of a steak
You touch your thumb to your index, middle, ring, and pinky fingers, and the further you reach, the harder your muscle becomes. Apparently this should match up relatively well with rare, medium rare, medium, and well done steaks as you work your way from index to pinky.
Cornhole
Cornhole is a portable horseshoe type game with bags of cornfeed and slanted target boards. It’s a lot of fun for all ages.
Build your own cornhole set, then challenge the neighbors!
Asteroid
What You Need
Four to six players
1 soccer ball (the planet)
1 foam ball (the asteroid)
Instructions
Divide players into two teams.
The object of the game is for Team Asteroid to throw their foam ball and hit Team Planet’s soccer ball. Team Planet controls their ball by kicking it around, trying to keep it from Team Asteroid. Team Asteroid players are not allowed to take any steps with their ball. Instead, they must pass it to teammates, trying to get it in the hands of a player close enough to the planet for a shot.
When the foam ball hits the soccer ball, the teams switch roles.
Make Up A Softball Cheer
There are a lot of elements that go into a good cheer or chant. 
Using words that are short and easy for a crowd to pick up is one part of it. Picking a chant rhythm that is catchy and easy to keep going is another part.
In the case of softball cheers, a third part is the need to make the funny softball chants contextual. In other words, watch the game and what is happening, and then lead the cheers based on what’s going on.
For example, if someone on your team just stole a base, then the following cheer might work:
Call the Cops! Call the Cops! We just stole your stinkin’ base! Here they come: Whooooooo! (imitate siren).
What’s funny about that? Well, it’s a play on words for one thing – the concept of “stealing” a base. Speaking of which, while using the word “stinkin'” might seem mean spirited, it’s really not, because you’re talking about the base, and bases don’t have feelings. Also, it gives the crowd a chance to make the siren whooping sound, which is always a fun way to make people smile as everyone makes ridiculous noises at each other.
Another way to make things funny is to use a parody or satire of a popular movie or song. Singing “There she goes, just a walkin’ to first base, singin’ doo wah diddy diddy…” when a player is walked will get the entire stadium singing to the chorus. Making up funny words to the songs (also known as “filking” a song) is a way to keep the music contextual and funny. Taking it from movie themes can also be funny. Consider this cheer based on the Oompa Loompa song from Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory.
Oompa, loompa, doompadee doo,
I’ve got another curve ball for you.
Oompa, loompa, doompadee ding,
It goes so fast, you won’t even swing.
Another way to come up with a lot of funny softball cheers is to poke a little fun at yourself. Take a cue from the call-and-response cadences used by the military and create your own personal cheers filled with humorous references:
We don’t play with little dolls,
We hit hard with bats and balls,
We don’t got ribbons in our hair,
We slam that home run OUTTA there!
