Parent Appreciation Breakfast-in-Bed (They dress in their jammies and have a breakfast dinner, while the youth entertain them).
Ultimate Frisbee (or Frisbee Golf)
FTSOTY or TTTF songfest

Ice blocking – find a park with a nice steep hill, buy the big blocks of ice have the kids bring a towel to sit on and have them race down the hill.  We have heats and so many winners advance and “crown” a winner (with a paper crown from burger king that we decorated).  This doesn’t take to long and then the kids just have fun.
 
Flour Sock War – Fill old socks with about a cup of flour, the kids have to wear dark clothes, separate them into two teams, when you get hit you are out.  We play at a park that has playground equipment, trees and bushes so it makes for great shelter.  We have the rule no aiming for the head.  We have played that the team with the most remaining after a period of time wins or the last man standing.  Use as many socks as you want, we had each kid bring 5 then they scavenge for the thrown ones and it makes it more fun.
 
Marshmallow Guns – Same thing as the flour socks just use the PVC guns and marshmallows.
