Step 1
Have kids participate in a balloon toss. Fill balloons with water and toss them to your teammate. Increase the distance after each throw. Eventually, someone is going to end up all wet!
-
Step 2
Rent a dunk tank. Adults can sit atop the chair inside the dunk tank and kids will have lots of fun trying to dunk them. Kids throw balls at the target, which, when hit, will release the chair and dunk whomever sits inside.

Step 3
Buy sidewalk chalk. Kids can use the chalk to play Hangman or Hopscotch.

Step 4
Set up a miniature skate park. Let kids bring their own skateboards and make homemade ramps for them to ride down. Be sure to insist on helmets and kneepads.

Compete in karaoke. After a few beers, people begin to lose their inhibition and a sing-along or singing competition can be hilarious fun!

Step 4
Arrange a game of croquet on your front lawn. Croquet sets are pretty affordable if you need to purchase one. Otherwise, you may be able to find a neighbor who already owns one.
-
Step 5
Invent your own games. You could try "Name that Neighbor." This game could consist of charades-like imitations of various notable neighbors.
