Birthday Kids

The Games This Year Were Great

Group Stand ups

Group sizes got larger each time from 2 to 10

Pass the Banana
Using your toes to pass a banana over your head to the next person toes

Santa Beard

Using some lotion which was suppose to be lightly applies to the beard area.

Which turned into American Indian war paints 

Lick it Clean

This is peanut butter on a window, which the boys and girls competed to lick off more than the other.  The hard part is you can see the other person licking.  The boys got groused out by the amount of peanut butter to eat and the girls were groused out by seeing the boy licking to other side of the glass.  

It was hysterical.

Love this one of Chantrea's excitement 

Rudolf  Red Nose Relay

The Rudolf would dip his nose in the red paint and had to paint the rest of his team noses with his nose.  This was a blast to watch.

Santa  Present Unwrap

Basically the person in front of you rolls two dice looking for double while the person has to put the hat and mitts on to unwrap the gift.  If the person with the dice gets double the Santa takes it off and passed forward for the new Santa to unwrap.  I think we got through ten people before the gift was unwrapped.

Frozen Shirt Race.

This is a shirt soaked in water and frozen over night.  The first person to get it open and wear it gets to keep the shirt.  The shirts were very cold and extremely hard to get on.
There was nothing but shivering squeals when it came to putting the shirt on.  

Rathana's sleeve was still frozen shut when she tried to put the shirt on and had to struggled and extra long time in that cold shirt. 

There was also an eat or wear it game

We bought a couple cans of weird things and they had to draw a number which determined which food they had to try.  A bag of Jelly Fish, Raw egg, chili tuna, baby clams, squid, mustard, yogurt and so on.  Somethings were normal to Americans such as mustard, pickle relish but completely foreign to the kids.  One of the girls from the team played which the stuff like jelly fish and squid for foreign to her.  This all made for the kids playing somewhat of an even game.

So the idea is you choose a number from a bag, that number will choose a food that you will have to eat.  If you eat some of the food the other 3 people would have to wear some of it.  If you choose not to eat it you have to wear it and the others were safe.

The person that eat the most things won a new t-shirt and a goodies bag, everyone else got to keep the shirt they wore for the game.  Also at the end they could eat the rest of what ever they want from the cans.  They ravaged the can squid after and Lion enjoyed the can of dog food.

It may seem a bit wasteful, but in truth it was a low budget game, the kids eat most everything and what they didn't eat the dogs did aside from the mustard and things like that which went back into my fridge.  

If you want to try this at home.  Going to an Asian market will prove useful in crazy items.  A Tarp is necessary not just grass as you can't clean some of this stuff up other wise.

Mustard

I have to say this was one of the best game days we've had in a long time.

By the way our guest Carmen won.
