The goal of this game is the same — to tag everyone in the game. However, instead of chasing the target and placing a hand on them to tag, the tagger has to find the other players first and point their flashlight on them.
Some variations of the game also require saying the name of the hidden player out loud. After someone is tagged, they then become IT! Imagine hiding in the dark — hearts pounding, adrenaline rushing, eyes straining to see. Super fun! Playing hide and seek in the dark is scary. And you know what? I am all for it. The game requires more than three people the more the merrier, of course , and the goal is to find every single player who is hiding.
If you play outdoors make sure clear borders are defined for safety reasons. When someone is found, try to scare them! Ghost in the Graveyard is a genius mix of both tag and hide-and-seek. To be successful, you will need both speed and the ability to hide.
A group of players three or more needs to choose one place — home base — where they will define who the ghosts are for the game. Then everyone except for the player who yelled the warning races to the base. Ghosts try to outrun and tag non-ghosts before they reach the base. Whoever is too slow and gets tagged become the ghosts during the next round. When you think about a group of friends hanging out at night, no sleepover or camping trip should be considered successful without a scary story.
I mean, if nobody loses their desire to sleep because they were too scared… was it even worth it? Ok, not every night should be associated with fear and monsters. Teenagers can show off their knowledge of constellations. If you are looking for a game suitable for younger children, consider shadow puppet theatre! Play in a backyard, a front yard, a schoolyard, a park, a field, or anywhere there is lots of space for movement. Think of this as hide-and-seek backwards.
Using flashlights, the players look for the hidden person. Make the boxes for the course in different colours and shapes using either glow in the dark chalk or glow in the dark necklaces.
You could even use rechargeable LED light strips. Despite its name, the emphasis in this game is less on creepy and more on fun. All players have flashlights and gather at one spot — home base — to choose who will be the ghost. The non-ghosts then all turn off their flashlights and count to 20 in loud voices while the ghost runs and hides. The non-ghosts then turn on their lights and split up to seek out the ghost. If the ghost manages to tag a non-ghost before they reach home base, that person becomes ghost for the next round.
Pull out those hula hoops and twist and shout. Well, maybe keep the shouting to a minimum, other kids may be sleeping. Wrap the hula hoops with some neon or glow-in-the-dark tape and switch up the moves to keep it even more fun. Go with the traditional twist of the hoop around your hips, or spin the hoop on your wrists, your ankles, or even your head.
Try changing the direction of your twist or, instead of moving from side to side, try twisting with one foot ahead of the other. This perennial favourite, usually played during daytime hours, is even more fun at night. Pick up a roll of red cellophane from your local dollar or craft store and make an actual red light by taping a circle of the wrap around a flashlight.
If the officer spots anyone still moving, that player must return to the start line. Play continues until one player manages to get past the officer. That player becomes the officer for the next round. As calming as lying on a blanket during the day and watching clouds, have your kids lie down and watch the stars.
Print out some star charts there are free printables on the Internet and some amazing apps for your mobile devices and see if your kids can spot the Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, and Orion. Or, just like when you watch clouds, see if kids can find shapes in the patterns of dots. Try to find the brightest stars and look to see if the moon is full.
No need for rental shoes in this awesome version of bowling. Gather up a minimum of six empty plastic bottles and remove the caps. Place one or two glow-in-the-dark bracelets or necklaces inside the bottles and replace the caps. Line up the bottles on a flat surface and use a plastic or rubber ball to try to knock them down.
Points can be assigned for each bottle knocked down or different values can be assigned to different colours of bottles for older kids. Shadow puppet shows make for great imaginative theatre under the stars. Using glow-in-the-dark necklaces, have kids stand at a set distance closer for the littler players and have them try to throw their necklaces around filled water bottles or other rigid targets. The most important moves here are to dodge, duck, dip, and dive … away from the beam of a flashlight.
When tagged, players must return to home base. How low can you go? Get your not too loud music playing, light up the area with some flashlights, and use a rope for kids to move under. Players must walk bent over backwards, feet first, without falling, while the others cheer them on. After each player makes it under the rope, the rope holders lower it closer to the ground and players try again and again until they can no longer make it under the rope. Warning, this game comes with a lot of laughter.
For the smallest kids in the crowd, snake-in-the-grass is always a great game. Have two older kids hold the rope on the ground and shake it. For the older set, a double dutch game using two ropes is always fun.
