“Rescuerepparttar Injured Soldier” Divide uprepparttar 136529 soldiers into two teams. Provide each team with a gurney (tarp or beach towel) and a roll of toilet paper. One person onrepparttar 136530 team will berepparttar 136531 “Injured Soldier” and should be positioned about 40 yards from his teammates. When you say, “Go”repparttar 136532 team runs acrossrepparttar 136533 yard to their injured soldier. They first wrap uprepparttar 136534 injured soldier in toilet paper, then transfer him torepparttar 136535 gurney and finally transport him back to their starting position (I would suggest having one child hold a corner). This game is guaranteed to be loads of fun!

“Mine Field” Start out by placing a bunch of water balloons inrepparttar 136536 yard and blindfolding each soldier. Have them try and walk acrossrepparttar 136537 minefield without breaking any balloons.

“Grenade Toss” Beforerepparttar 136538 party, construct some bean bags out of camo fabric and fill them up with rice. You could also purchase beanbags at your local party or fabric store. Place to cement blocks about 3 feet apart and place board on them. Next, setup of different types and sizes of pop bottles forrepparttar 136539 targets. Giverepparttar 136540 soldiersrepparttar 136541 beanbags and let them take aim. Try different distances to increaserepparttar 136542 difficulty.

“Water Grenade War” Begin by constructing two barricades forrepparttar 136543 children to hide behind (these can be made out of cardboard and spray painted for effect). Giverepparttar 136544 kidsrepparttar 136545 balloons and watchrepparttar 136546 fun unfold before your eyes. Just remember, you can’t have too many grenades!

“Obstacle Course” I would suggest placing this game last in your order of Birthday Party Games. This will berepparttar 136547 most challenging and exciting. Here are few ideas on different obstacles you could incorporate into your Ultimate Course. Use a board as a plank to run across a water obstacle or between to cement blocks. Get some tires forrepparttar 136548 soldiers to step or run through. Use 5 gallon buckets with poles taped across forrepparttar 136549 soldiers to crawl under. Make some obstaclesrepparttar 136550 soldiers can run and weave around, such as, garbage cans or buckets. Throw in some physical exercises like jumping jacks and pushups. Whilerepparttar 136551 soldiers are running throughrepparttar 136552 obstacle, make sure you are acting just like a Drill Sergeant. There should be lots of yelling and encouragement. You could also be shooting a water gun at them or throwing water grenades. This should berepparttar 136553 Ultimate game, so take your time designingrepparttar 136554 course and have fun!

The Scoop on Giving Your Baby Juice

Written by Cassandra Germsheid


Continued from page 1

- Dilute juice by at least half and half. Most grocery stores have a baby aisle with juice specially diluted for babies. These juices also contain more Vitamin C than regular juices, but are also more expensive.

- Never give your baby juice from a bottle. And never give them juice from a cup to suck on all day. This can cause tooth decay.

- Don't give your baby juice at bedtime.

- Babies shouldn't have more than 150ml (one half cup) of juice a day.

- Instead of giving fruits in liquid form, try giving them real fruit!

- If your baby is thirsty, give them water instead. If your baby doesn't like water, try flavoringrepparttar water with a little bit of juice.

- If you start feeding your baby water fromrepparttar 136512 beginning, they won't naturally prefer juice instead of water.
