Activities to Liven Up Your Fall!

Fall parties are such a nice way to celebrate the turning of the leaves and sudden chill in the air. What better way to spice things up than bringing an element of fun to the day?!

Here are 3 super fun fall activities that will have your friends and family asking you “just how do you do it?”:

Corn Husk Ring Toss

We’ve all heard of simple ring toss games…but have you ever heard of corn husk ring toss? Didn’t think so! This fun fall party game is a real winner with adults as well as kids. Choose several corn husks of varying sizes, and use canning jar rings to play the game. Have game participants take turns trying to ring five husks in a row. Whoever makes the most ringers wins a prize.

Pumpkin Race!

Here’s a fantastic crowd-pleaser for the young, old, and in between! Fall is a great time for pumpkins, and what better time to host a pumpkin race than during your upcoming fall party? Choose small pumpkins about the same size, and provide one for each participating guest. Designate a starting line and a finish line, and have participants roll their pumpkins as quickly as they can. The one who crosses the finish line first is the winner.

Wheelbarrow Races

An old-fashioned wheelbarrow race is a super fun fall party activity. Fill a couple of sturdy wheelbarrows with straw, and have party guests choose a racing partner. Designate a starting line and a finish line, and get ready for the race of your life. Have partners take turns riding the wheelbarrow across the finish line, and have them trade off when heading back across the starting line. Whichever team crosses back over the starting line first, wins the race.
