Each team assigns one or more “guards” at its “fort” to guard the glow stick. Each “fort” has a glow stick with that team’s color (the “flag”). Set up one “fort” and one “jail” for each team. Players on each team wear the same color glow bracelet. The Setup: Divide the players into teams. These should be the kind that are also bracelets. What You Will Need: Glow sticks in two different colors. Also, this is one of those picnic games that can get quite rambunctious and rowdy. We think it’s great for teenagers and older kids who aren’t afraid of the dar and can navigate the darkness with a lesser chance of injury than younger kids. Some of these games are also made for playing when the sun goes down, and the little ones go to bed. These are the ones that can be extra fun for teens and adults. Little kids love rowdy games, but some picnic games are a little too rowdy for the little ones. Make sure to play this on the grass to minimize the chance of injury.įun Games for Teenagers, Adults, and Older Kids The first pair to cross the finish line wins. Rules of Play: When all the pairs are lined up, shout “Go!” The “horses” drag the blanket “carriages” with the riders on top, toward the finish line. One member of each team is the “horse,” who will pull the blanket “carriage.” The other member sits in the carriage.

Rules of Play: Line up participants single-file. The Setup: Set up plastic bottles in a pyramid formation, with the point facing away from participants. For younger kids (under five) a small amount of water, dirt, sand, or stones at the bottom will keep the bottles from falling over before you want them to, but will leave them light enough for little kids to knock down.
What You Will Need: A soccer ball, basketball, or foursquare ball, and six to nine plastic bottles. If you’re crafty, then making the bowling set ahead of time can be a fun activity of its own. You can weight the bottles differently for various age groups, alter the number of bottles and distance from the starting line, or even add glow sticks to the water so teenagers and adults can play after dark! PBS has instructionsfor making different kinds of bowling sets, from simple to very fancy.
