3 Alternative Fun Things To Do This Fourth of July

Tired of the same old activities on the fourth of July? Try these three alternatives.

Christmas in July

Stage a Christmas in July party where all the gifts have to be related to Independence Day. “Gee, Uncle Tony, thanks for 500-gram multi-shot fireworks cake with multiple colors, effects and red, white and blue glitter that rains on the ground for 25 minutes!”

Bottle Rocket Chug

Each person sticks a bottle rocket stem in their beer and lights it. As they various rockets fire and take off, participants chug their beer. The last one has to pass out the bottle rockets for the next round.

Family Picnic Tupperware Quiz Game

Send the kids around the center table to guess what each food item really is “OK, kids, this is a plastic Tupperware bowl with some sort of unknown pasta, pink jello, army soldiers, a few playing cards, and chips from The Taj Mahal in Atlantic City! What is is this food??!!” The kid with the best guesses gets to skip eating with the family and go to McDonald’s.
