Throw the Best 4th of July Party EVER


Anyone can do a cookout, but what if you could turn your July 4th Celebration into something to remember...?

Part of it is food, part of it is decoration, but part of it is what you'll do with everyone when they get to your house!

If you have a pool, that helps make it a little easier, but you can't even rely on that entirely because not everyone wants to swim all the time.

What about games? Who says kids are the only ones who love games?

Have an Old Fashioned Fourth by playing these old-fashioned games! If there are kids involved, you can rest assured that grandma and grandpa will LOVE teaching them these classics:

  • Marbles
  • Jacks
  • Sack Races
  • Three Legged Races
  • Catch
  • Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest
  • Hula Hoops
  • Bubbles
  • Create one of these 30 Great American Flag Crafts
  • Play some printable games - purchase some like these online and print as many as you need at home:
