Make a giant kerplunk game. All you need is tomato cage, pool noodles/plastic poles, rubber balls, and clear garbage bag. This game will add to all the summer events planned this year and is great for the children at a family reunion.

Want to have you water balloon fight with your children this summer but it is too much work to fill up the water balloons? Create a water balloon pump station. This is a soap or shampoo bottle with a pump filled with water. The children are able to take their time and fill up their water balloons as the rest of their siblings are enjoying the water balloon fight as it goes on. However, younger children will need help.

When there are a lot of pumpkins around this time of the year there are some many great activities that we can create. One of my favorite is the pumpkin ring toss. All you need is a few pumpkins and rings that can be made out of paper plates. Then the fun begins and see who can be the next rodeo star in your family.

Make your own tap shoes and allow your children to show off their dancing skills. The tape shoes are simply taping coins to the bottom of their shoes and they are ready for dancing.

Is it too cold or wet to go outside? Well there are many different activities to do as a family indoors. Instead of playing board games or watching TV let's mix things up and make a target and try to see how many balls you can get in the center by rolling them. This can also be brought outdoors and on a nice summer day draw a target on the ground and throw water balloons at it to see how great your aim is.

Here is another activity testing your aim. Grab the old cans and some string and make a tossing game. To make it extra fun add some rocks to the cans to make noise whenever you hit your target!
