When I stumbled upon this on Pinterest I was excited because this was an activity you could play in your front yard, while camping or at the beach even.  It is very portable and you could play in teams too if you wanted.

All you is a tarp, some tape (we used duct tape) and a a few dollar store frisbees.  You could play tic tac toe or assign points to each of the squares and play on a points system  Either way, it is fun and frugal and a great family activity.

I love the Dollar Store!  They have a huge variety of glow sticks right now and this is the perfect easy to make game for the kids.  I guess in a bind, you could also do it in the house with the lights out!

All you need is old water bottles and some glow sticks.  We use and old rolled up sock for a ball!  So much fun!
