CHEAP FAMILY FUN

Tonight we created a fun new game. We had a couple packages of of glow sticks purchased from the Dollar Tree Store (hence the cheap fun) and we were playing with them in the dark. My arms were getting tired from swinging them around so I tried to think of other things we could do. I came up with the ring toss game, but in the dark. To play, use the connectors that come in the glow stick packages and connect the sticks together to make several rings. Take one glow stick and stand it up inside of a narrow glass vase. Toss the rings towards the vase and try to get the rings around the vase. We had a blast playing this for at least a half hour. It is much harder then you think when you are playing in the pitch black and the rings are flexible. Have fun if you give this game a try.

We stock up on glow sticks before heading to camp. The boys have a blast playing tag in the dark AND it helps me to keep track of everyone!!

Sounds fun! I bet this game will be one of those things that your kids will always remember! :o) Seems like the "big" plans we make sometimes aren't the things that stick.
