If youвЂ™re looking for a way to entertain your kids sometime or something to give to a babysitter to do, you could try asking your kids if they like battleship. They do enjoy the added tag component of the game to keep it lively, though. The younger kids find acting out the commands fun in and of itself and mostly arenвЂ™t concerned about the winning aspect of this game. On Tournament Day, this game is usually used to get points for your team, so the team with the most players up at the end wins. If one of the commands such as three-man or two-man lifeboat is called and a player canвЂ™t find a group in time, they are also out. When players are running from one side of the ship to the other, coaches can tag them. The coach calls out commands and players act accordingly. Starboard, port, stern and bow are the four directions on a ship that are used in the game to let the players know which way to run. YouвЂ™ll have to leave it up to the kids to teach you all of the silly, spirited actions behind the commands like Lady on the Beach, CaptainвЂ™s Coming, Land-Ho, CharlieвЂ™s Angels, and all of the others. Some of the younger kids like to play it in between some of the more organized sports like soccer and capture the flag as an animated and interactive activity to break things up. Individge is a great game to build skills and interest in other throwing-related sports like handball, field activities in track and field, football, and rugby.Д«attleship: Battleship is a typical Tournament Day activity. The game is high-spirited, energetic and fosters that sense of healthy competition that meets the needs of many of our campers. The goal of the game is to hit the other players with a dodge ball (head shots donвЂ™t count), and the last player standing wins. ItвЂ™s in the same spirit as Reindeer Tails wherein each player is for him or herself. Individge: Individge is a dodge ball-like game that many of our older campers enjoy. They are allowed to move side to side and look for space within a pre-determined area to escape the grasps of opponents. Players arenвЂ™t allowed to block their pinnies with their hands or tuck them too far into their shorts to the point where it makes it difficult for other players to get them. The goal is to pull other playersвЂ™ pinnies out without getting yours taken first. In Reindeer tails, you tuck your pinnie into the side of your shorts. It is also great for sports involving sprints and the idea of coexisting offense and defense like soccer, Ultimate Frisbee, and lacrosse. The game is a great way to introduce flag football strategy to younger kids before incorporating a football. At home you could use t-shirts, hand towels or flag football flags if you have them.

Reindeer Tails: Reindeer Tails is a camp favorite. If your kids love any of these games, hopefully we can now provide you with the opportunity to play with them and teach them to your childrenвЂ™sвЂ™ friends and family members at home. The following list of Viking games is here so that parents can have more of an idea of what their children, especially the younger ones, are talking about when they come home from camp with stories of what they did that day that they want to share. We believe in transparency here at Viking, and we felt like this might be a way to help strengthen this, so we want to give parents and potential parents and campers an idea of some of these other games.

We also love to incorporate fun relay races and other tag games to foster healthy competition at our camps and clinics. Some of the games that we play at Viking in addition to traditional sports like soccer, handball, capture the flag, football, baseball, kickball, dodge ball, and basketball, you may never have heard of and might be curious to learn more about.
