July is the perfect time to get outside and play games with friends in Tacoma, WA. We have a few suggestions for outdoor activities you can try this summer to spend some time outside of your Nantucket Gate apartment. Read below for some of our favorites.
Frisbee
Ultimate frisbee is great for anyone looking to work off any extra calories they may have consumed at your picnic or barbecue. Find a frisbee and divide into two teams to play this twist on soccer. You can also play noncompetitively with the disc by tossing it around a group of friends or having your dog run after it.
Picnic in the Park
Enjoy a potluck style meal with some friends at your favorite local park. Make sure you don’t forget anything by using this picnic packing checklist from Real Simple. Get some picnic recipe ideas from Country Living.
Water Balloon Relay
Fill up lots of small water balloons and have fun with a water balloon relay. This game is perfect for a large group of people. Make two or more teams and create obstacles. Some obstacles could be to swing a water balloon to your teammates with a towel or tossing underhand from a certain distance. Have a team member at the end of the relay with a basket on their heads to fill up with water balloons. After a set amount of time, whoever has the most balloons in their basket wins.
Glow-in-the-Dark Capture the Flag
If you don’t think you can take the midday or late-afternoon heat, try a game that works well in the evening, when the sun has lowered and you feel a little less sluggish from the heat. Use large glow sticks in place of your flag for this easy twist on a classic game.
