I was in charge of planning and creating outdoor games and activities for our extended family reunion of 125+ people. The reunion was a western themed gathering, so I tried to create games with a western flare. Most of these games and activities were created by me with a little help from family members. They are easy to construct and done on a dime. Most of them are games that can be used over and over again. These games were a lot of fun for the whole family, but I did learn that the kids like the games much better when there was a prize at the end of the game. If hosting a carnival or family party, I would definitely suggest handing out small pieces of candy or prizes.
