Milking the Cow- create cardboard cow, attaching pink rubber kitchen glove with holes poked in finger tips as udders. Fill glove with watered down milk (just enough milk so it is white). We found it best to have two gloves and a helper to refill the second so kids didn't have to wait long.
Bean bag toss (throw beanbags into cowboy hat)
Pin the badge on the cowboy
Sheriff Says (instead of "Simon Says")
Campfire story-time- read "How I Spent my Summer Vacation" by Mark Teague
Round 'em Up -two hula hoops are on the ground, a dozen balloons of two different colors are in between the hula hoops. Kids are split into two teams and have to try to herd their color balloon into their team's hula hoop.
Rattlesnake Tag- Kids line up & put hands on the shoulders of the child in front of them. The child in the front of the line needs to catch the last child in line. When the "head" catches the "tail" the child that was the head, becomes the new tail. The second child in line becomes the new head.
Lasso Practice -Rope is tied to hula hoop. Kids take turns trying to lasso rocking horses & pull them in. Prize- Licorice Ropes
Knock out at OK Corral- Paint plastic bottles white, line them up to be knocked down with beanbags.
Prize- Gold coins
Gold Rush!- Panning for silver & gold (spray painted gravel rocks)
Prize- Kids get to keep the "gold" they find.
