Tug‐O‐War
–
Maybe
in
heats?
Flamingo Ring Toss- this game is done with different size Flamingos and the teams (during
elimination) are trying to get the rings on the birds.
Musical Chairs
Scavenger Hunt – Good, quiet nighttime activity
Lip Sync / Air Jam Contest on Stage - At bank night each team picks a song so they have
time to practice, get their costumes etc; every team participated
Bean Bag Toss
Mystery Croquet - Pantyhose around the waist with the croquet ball in the leg of the panty hose
between your legs. Then it’s using a bit of hip action to direct the croquet ball through the course. 
Water Balloon Volleyball - Set up the net and then teams of two go through elimination. The ball is a
water balloon and the two member teams use a beach towel between them (hold by the four corners)
to toss the water balloon over the net - opposing team attempts to catch the water balloon in their
beach towel.
Dress Up Hot Potato – Several articles of rather embarrassing clothing, each one in a plastic bag. The
bag is then thrown around the circle of people playing. Who ever has the bag when the music stops
has to put on the piece of clothing in the bag. At the end, all the participants did a lap of the track to
show off their new outfits.
Horse Races - horse race among our teams. The host team will purchase a horse (like the old stick
horses.) Have a die (big fuzzy die?) to roll and placed marks on the ground to count our steps. We had
to pay to register. We had 4 heats with the winner of each heat competing against each other. The
winner won the money we registered with. We also displayed our horses at our booth with a bucket to
collect donations.
Turkey Bowling - 2 sets of bowling pins set up, 2 participants from each team then take hold of a
frozen turkey and give it a good heave ho. They get two throws and tally up the total number of pins
knocked down. 2 rounds, 3 if there's a tie-breaker, and the team with the most points wins!
Jail & Bail - Have a "sheriff" who will arrest the people that warrants are issued for. You could have
someone arrested by issuing a warrant via donation. You list the person's name, campsite & brief
description on the form and you set the bail amount and amount of time they have to spend in jail.
Once that person is arrested, they are sent to jail. They have their picture taken for the record. That
person has to either wait a certain amount of time listed on the warrant before posting bail
themselves or if they could find someone to post bail for them, they can get out at any time.
