Cook Out Kids Games

We are going to be hosting a grill-out for 10 boys around age 8.  We are going to do a build your own burger theme and make it a backyard grill-out.  We've got these games planned:

 

  • Prize for the craziest burger toppings
  • Watermelon seed spitting contest
  • Eating ice cream with hands tied behind the back

 

Do you have any other ideas that would go along with our theme, or grill-out related games?

So, we are also going to fill a jar with candy and have the boys guess how many pieces are inside.  I'm still looking for suggestions!

I've never heard the term "grill-out", so I'm side tracked lol

 

 

I'm thinking county fair style games. Ice-cream eating contest is similar to the pie eating contest. You could do a balloon dart board (if you trust them with darts, I don't know how wild some of these boys may be haha), softball at a can tower, let them loose with a (prefilled) arsenal of water balloons...

Really?! What do you call social gatherings focused on grilling?

I've never heard "grill-out" either. We say Barbeque.

Maybe it's a regional thing.

The watermelon seed spitting contest was fun, but I'd say eating the ice cream without spoons game was the biggest hit by far.  

 

ice cream

 

 

 

watermelon

 

burger toppings
