While planning my youngest son's birthday party last month, he kept coming up with all sorts of
Another thing he wanted to do was to play glow-in-the-dark Flag Football...oh, and I had one day to do it.
I ended up making skinny pockets from some old curtain sheers, I used the hem that was already sewn! I sewed across the hem with my machine several times to make 12 "pockets" and cut apart each one.
Next, I sewed one side of the Velcro to the back of the pocket and the other side to a length of rope long enough to tie around each child's waist. Each pocket Velcro-ed to a rope "belt".
Repeat 12 times...
Slide a glow stick into each pocket:
Now, PLAY!
Each team tries to pull the glowing flag from the opponent's belt. Moms, it's really hard to get a picture of this!

Nice job on such short notice! Looks like a lot of fun! :)
ReplyDeleteWe do glow in the dark football with our youth.. we've always just used large glowsticks to show the sidelines and let them wear necklaces to show which team they're on, but I love the idea of using the glowstick for the flag! Might have to add that to our game!
ReplyDeleteYou are such a fun Mom! I know they had a good time. :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea! You really do deserve some kind of award!
ReplyDeleteFor slower fun my friend painted a croquet set with black light paint and they use black light flashlights... That and a bottle or two of wine makes for a really fun evening!
