For every participant you will need one donut. Hang each donut from the ceiling or a tree branch using string or ribbon. Make sure each donut is hanging low enough that each child can touch it with their mouth. To Play: Each participant takes their place in front of a hanging donut and places their hands behind their back. On the start of go they each try and eat their donut (without touching it with their hands) as fast as they can without dropping it. First one who finishes wins!

Color War

Have each child wear a white t-shirt that is ok to be colored. Divide all the kids into two to three teams. Each team is given a color and a water gun for each player. The water guns will be filled with water that has been dyed with food coloring to represent that teams color. The object of the game is that of a paintball game, each player must try and tag other players with their color to make them “out”. For water shots to get another player out it must hit on the back, chest, or stomach. Arms and leg shots will not make another player out, and head shots are not allowed. The last player left in the game represents the winning team.

Egg Toss

Divide participants into pairs. Line all players up facing their partner. They should be about 2 ft apart to start the game. Give each team a raw egg. They must toss the egg back and forth without breaking it, after each toss the partners take a step away from each other. The winners are the team that gets the most distance between them before dropping the egg.

OTHER MESSY GAMES TO PLAY WITH RAW EGGS

• Egg Roulette
• Fill a bowl full of boiled eggs and ONE raw egg. Brave participants take turns choosing a cracking an egg on their head until finally the raw one is chosen.
• Egg target practice
• Set up a tarp to contain the mess, and let the kids take turns throwing eggs at a fun target.
• Spoon Race
• Give each participant a spoon with a raw egg on it. They must hold the spoon while racing each other to the finish line and back without dropping their egg. If an egg is dropped they must go back to the beginning and start again. 

Food Fight!

A food fight is about as messy as it gets. Some things to think about if you want to get this messy is what foods you want to provide for throwing. Some popular food fighting foods are jello, peas, pudding, popcorn, spaghetti noodles, any food that won’t hurt. Consider providing goggles for eye protection and garbage bags to wear over clothes. A suggestion to make clean up easier is to have the food fight outside on cheap painters tarps that you can roll up and throw away after the parties over.

This is an indoor party game. To play you will create a mound of flour to look like a mountain of flour. This is best done on a cookie sheet or wax paper to make clean up easier. Flatten the peak of the mountain a little, or create a small pocket indent on the mountain tip to place a jelly bean or jelly belly in.

TO PLAY: Players pass around a spoon and take turns removing a spoonful of flour from the mountain. The player that eventually makes the jelly bean fall must dive into the flour and find and eat the jelly bean using only their mouths! After throw away the flour, create a new flour mountain and play again.

This should definitely be an outdoor party game. I have listed a couple of fun obstacles that can be included in your obstacle course. The great thing about an obstacle course is that you can create them however you like. Have the participants run through it just for fun, or race to see who can make the best time.
