Fourth of July is the perfect time to take advantage of the bright hot days of summer and celebrate outside with family and friends.
We’ve rounded up our top 5 favorite things to do outside in the backyard or park to celebrate the fourth!
1. Play Croquet
Easy to set up, and fun for kids and adults alike. A great game to play while you sip a drink, and plenty of downtime to rest in the shade between turns. Instructions on how to set up & play the game can be found here: http://www.wikihow.com/Set-up-Croquet
You could even get a tournament going and award a prize to the winner. Might we suggest our DipStix Grab & Go Big Bubble Kit as the prize?
2. Blow Big Bubbles
Blow bubbles at sunset as you wait for the fireworks to start. Marvel at them, chase them, pop them, and maybe even test out making blue and red bubbles with a few drops of food coloring! Play some of our favorite bubble games, and don’t forget to review our 11 secrets for blowing huge bubbles.
We recommend beeboo Big Bubble Mix for the most amazing big bubbles, together with our two-handled big bubble wands. Or, buy a complete kit with everything you need to get the whole family blowing big bubbles!
3. Musical Chairs
Put all those lawn chairs to good use, and pump up the music to get this game started. If you don’t remember the rules, refresh your memory over at wikipedia.
4. Eat Fourth of July colored popsicles
Make them yourself (great recipe here), or buy the traditional Rocket Pops. The perfect treat to relax eat outside.
5. Sparkler Games
Here’s a fun one: set your camera on a slow shutter speed (or use the video function) then take turns trying to write your name, words, and shapes with your sparkler while capturing it on film!

4. New Outdoor Game ideas
This article came up with lots of games I’ve never heard of. Drag the Body? a sort of race where you drag your friend across the yard on an old blanket as fast as you can. Sounds entertaining to me! How about Blind Snakes, where kids try to run across the yard without getting sprayed by a couple of sprinklers. One kid is in charge of turning the water on and off and tries to entrap & soak the others!

FREE shipping on all orders of $49+:
Use redemption code "summer" at Step 3 of 5 – Payment Information
Looking for some bubble game inspiration? Here are our four favorite bubble games to celebrate the beginning of summer.
- Bubble in a bubble.
Make one big bubble. Blow on the outside of the big bubble, like you’re blowing out a birthday candle…this will create a bubble within a bubble. See who can make the most bubbles in a bubble, before the big bubble breaks! Most bubbles in a bubble wins.
- Keep it up!
Each participant makes one large bubble. Using your hands, or any other creative "fanning" device (Hint: Use a folded newspaper or a dust pan) make upward fanning motions near and around the big bubble in an effort to keep it aloft. Longest lasting bubble wins.
- Bubble tube.
See who can make the longest bubble tube, before breaking. Longest continuous bubble tube wins!
- Human bubble.
Amaze your party guests as they stand inside an actual bubble that’s bigger than they are. Mix up the bubble solution in a small plastic pool (Hint for maximum strength, make the bubble solution the night before and let it sit). When you’re ready for the fun to begin, have a child stand in the center of the pool. With the hula hoop already in the bubble solution, quickly lift the hula hoop up. It’s easier with two people doing this, one on each side.
