SOCK GAMES

Sock Wars

The setup of this game can actually be as fun as playing it. Divide into two teams, create some sock balls from pairs of socks, and then each team creates its fort! Blankets, pillows, chairs, and couches are all fair game. Once you have built your elaborate fort, make sure all breakables are cleared away and start throwing! If a kid is hit then they are out for the remainder of the game. The last team standing wins. If you don’t mind your kids activity games to get crazy, this is the indoor game for you. It also translates well to an outdoor game – just make sure you bring in all the socks when you are done.
