Instructions

1. Fill plastic cups with trail mix that players can grab as they run past, like marathon runners grabbing drinks. Make your own mix by combining nuts, O-shaped cereal, and dried fruit, or drizzle melted chocolate over pretzels, peanuts, coconut flakes, and cranberries.

2. Fill sandwich bags with popcorn or other snacks and tape a label to each bag with the name of your party.*

3. As a healthier substitute to bottled soda, set up a make-your-own-soda station with ice, seltzer, and concentrated or regular fruit juice. Each guest can personalize a cup to use throughout the day.*
