4th of July Game Set-up

First: Cut out several red, blue and white squares from construction paper.

Second: Write a number on the squares. You can choose to write 5, 10 or 20. This is the point value for that square.

Third: Hide the squares around the house, yard and/or picnic area. Hide the 20's in harder places and the 5's in easier places. Try to match up the color of the square with the color of the hiding spot. For example, tape a blue square to the back of a blue curtain or to the door of a blue car.

Fourth: Explain the game to your guests as they arrive. They are to look for red, white and blue squares hidden in the area. They are to collect the ones they find and can look for them throughout the picnic.

Fifth: At the end of the picnic, have everyone add up their squares. (Adults may need to help the kids with this.) Have a prize handy to give out to the winner. And maybe a bag of goodies for each of the kids.
