Summer Snowball Fight

Summary: Summer Snowball Fight is a party game using flour instead of snow. Ages: From 12 to adult Recommended Number of Players: Determined by the size of playing field

Equipment:
Pantyhose, usually a couple pair will do
Flour, 1 cup per player

Set Up:
Start at the toe of a pair of pantyhose, fill with a half a cup of flour, tie a knot just above the flour, and cut. Tie a knot in the loose end and fill once more, continue making snowballs all the way up the leg. Each leg will make 5-6 “snowballs”. Make at least 2 snowballs for each player.

How to Play:
Now is time for the snowball fight! Every player begins with two snowballs.Start by standing in a big circle, backs facing each other. The host yells "GO" and the fight begins.  Everyone then throws their snowballs at each other.  When a snowball lands on the ground, anyone can capture it and use it again and again.

IMPORTANT: This game is light-hearted. It is best if you make the rule that everyone throws underhanded. Hard throws are not allowed. Winner: The host will need to judge who has the least amount of flour on them and declare that player the winner.

Variation:

Use knee high nylons and put one whole cup of flour in each. Tie a knot near the flour.  Each player only gets one snowball and must keep it with them at all times.  The snowball is then used to "hit" the other players. The winner is determined the same way.  

This game is also fun played wet.  That way, more flour sticks to the players!

Best Advice from Dana Palmer

Many people come to this site looking for a couple specific games. When they find them, great, the job is done. But there is one thing I want ALL my guests to know regardless of how many or how few pages they read. Therefore, if you see this box again on a few more pages, skip it and move on to finding more games for your event.

But for those reading this for the first time, here is the best advice I can pass on from my many years of experience planning and executing large and small events. Read on…

“Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.” These are great words from A.A. Milne, the creator of Winnie-the-Pooh. I couldn’t agree more. And a solid foundation of organizing and planning is needed for most events. But I am here to tell you even with the BEST organization, no event is going to proceed EXACTLY as planned. You may even have a Plan B, C or D as a back-up. That’s fabulous! But trust me on this one; something will happen that you had no way of anticipating. So what now? Here is the trick. Pay close attention to this because it is the single most important piece of wisdom I can share with my readers.

Are you ready?

Learn to mentally let go of your perfect plans
the minute the party, event, game
or special occasion starts.

That’s it. I could write an entire page on how to “be in the moment” and “have fun at your own party.” But neither of those will happen if you don’t have the mindset that it’s alright to have things turn out differently than you imagined. The good news is that usually what you planned in your head that didn’t come through was never even missed by most.

So if you are going along, playing a game, or any other group activity, and it leads you down a road you didn’t foresee… Enjoy the ride.
