A unique addition to outdoor birthday parties, barbeques or any

You'll need:
lawn care stakes or garden stakes
permanent markers in a variety of colors
croquet mallets and balls or lawn bowling balls
Using the permanent markers, write instructions on the stakes such as,
"HOP", "SING", "DANCE", "CARTWHEEL", "YODEL" etc.
How To Play:
Place the stakes into the ground with plenty of distance in between
stakes.
designate one stake for the start and one for the finish. Use lawn
bowling, croquet, or other heavy balls to play. Each child will have
their own ball. . The children will hit, or roll their balls from one
stake to another, attempting to touch or get very near the stake in one
roll. Only one roll per turn.
When they do get their ball near the stake, they will perform the task
on the instruction card.
Variation: you can also use the entire croquet set and placing the
garden stakes near the wickets or wood stakes. Let your kids adapt the
rules
to see what imaginative new game they create!
