Celebrate a child’s birthday with plenty of homemade cakes, party favors, and sports theme games for all to enjoy. Keep in mind the age group of the children to ensure the games are not too physical or difficult. One of the best games to play for children to play at a birthday party outdoors is dodge ball. Dodge ball definitely gets the adrenaline up and makes children run around for their lives (not literally). There are several versions of dodge ball that includes Scatter/Scramble, Ultraball, War Ball, Barrier Dodge ball, and Dr. Dodge ball. All dodge ball requires is plenty of space, a dodge ball and participants.
An ancients sports game that children may never heard of includes Trigon. In modern Trigon, three players stand at the outer points of a triangle, each side being about 20 feet long. The game is based on a point system and the first player to 21 points is the winner. A baseball or softball is thrown by a player using the left hand to the player on his right. That player catches the ball with his right hand, and throws the ball to the third player with his left. The third player repeats this throwing to the first player while keeping play in a counterclockwise direction. If a catchable ball is dropped, the thrower gets one point. Any player can reverse the direction of play by batting the ball with either hand to either of the other two players. A player can also hold the ball, stopping play, and fake throws to confuse players. A player may also place a second ball in play, which increases the difficulty of this game.
