Mer-race

This game makes a big splash with kids, who most likely will insist upon staying all wrapped up for the rest of the party.

What You Need
  • Heavy-duty trash bags
  • Duct tape
  • Cardboard crowns
  • Sheet
Instructions
  1. First, designate a "mermaid rock" by drapping a chair with a large sheet. Then outfit each child with a mermaid tail by having him or her step into a heavy-duty, drawstring garbage bag. Tie the bag loosely around the child's waist, then secure it in place with a belt of duct tape. Wrap a second strip of duct tape around the knees to create a fin effect.

  2. Lay the children down on their bellies, across the room from your mermaid rock. Scatter the crowns around on the rock. At the "Ready, set, dive" signal, kids squirm and flap their way to the rock, don their crowns and race back. First one back wins.

  3. Afterward, photograph each child for a fun keepsake of their mermaid-for-a-day experience.
