This is a series of various competitions where it is boys against girls, usually involving only a few players at a time. This is something that the leader could do for one night, or a day, or for the week. Depends what works in your situation. I like taking the hottest day when you are playing water games and skills are canceled because it is too hot and using this is a template for the day. Some ideas can be taken from the relay post but here are a few others:
-Eating Contest (eat gross foods from Asia, or eat something the fastest)
-Tug of war
-Stamina (whoever can do something the longest)
-Memory
-Coordination (perform a task that is complicated)
-Balance
-Intelligence (see jeopardy post)
-eat a Cracker and whistle
-4 way bungee (either grabbing an object from the edge of the bungee range and putting it in a bin in the center, or have people from the same team on opposite corners of the bungee where one person grabs an object from the edge, passes it to their partner who needs to place it in a bin on the opposite side) See the “4 way bungee” post for instruction on how to make one.
-I do, You Do (where the boy does something the girl has to do it, then the girl does something a bit harder and the boy has to do it, then the boy again then the girl and so on)
