Extreme Group Dates!



Get ready. Set. Go! 
Are you excited for some Extreme Group Date ideas?

We're talking crazy awesome dates.
Seriously.

We know the dating scene can be scary and stressful.
And sometimes those boys just don't know how to ask a girl out!

But never fear because we are here to help you out!
You and your BFF's could use these ideas to ask out a group of guys,
or you could secretly plant the awesome suggestion in those silly boys' minds.
(insert evil laugh here = WHA HA HA)

Either way, you're guaranteed to have a blast with these games!





No, croquet is not just for those over 60.
Especially when it's played at the extreme!

The trick to extremem croquet is that you set up a croquet course 
in an unusual place like a park or picnic area. 
Think hills, streams, rocks, trees - the more obstacles the better!


Supplies Needed: 
1 Croquet Set + 1 Park + Fun People


Set Up: 
When setting up your course, put the wickets in tricky places
like in a cluster of trees or over a small creek.
Long-distance shots are really fun too :)
Just make sure to tell everyone in your group where they are,
maybe even taking them on a little tour of the course so they know where to go.


How To Play: 
Each player takes a turn, 
trying to hit their ball through the first wicket.
If a player misses, they will have to use their next turn to try and get it through again. 
If they make it through the wicket, they can move on to the next
wicket on their following turn.

So everyone will continue following the course and taking turns appropriately.
The first person through the last wicket wins!

Have fun!
And maybe your Grandma will want to play with you next time!

(Note: Most croquet sets have enough mallets and balls for 8 people,
but if your group is larger just make sure to borrow another croquet set from someone.)






Supplies Needed: 
1 Deck of Cards + Spoons (enough for every person except one)


Set Up: 
Scatter the spoons around the room.
You could also put them in a different room or behind a couch, etc.
Something tricky :)

Have everyone sit in a circle on the floor.
The dealer will give everyone 4 cards and put the rest of the cards in the middle.


How To Play:
The object is to get 4 cards of the same number and then grab a spoon.

So the dealer will start by picking a card from the pile,
deciding whether they want it and then put either the new card or
one of their old cards face down in front of the next player.
That player will pick up the card, decide if they want it 
and again, either put that card or one from their hand in front of the next player.

Players cannot have more than 4 cards in their hand,
so the cards will continue to make their way around the circle as 
players pick up and get rid of a card.

When a player gets 4 cards with the same number,
they run and grab a spoon (wherever they are).
As soon as someone runs to get a spoon all of the other players
try to get a spoon as well.
The player left without a spoon is out.

For the next round, the player who got out will just watch while everyone plays again. 
(Make sure to take out a spoon so there is always one less spoon 
than the number of people playing.)
When you get down to two people, you'll find out who the 
champion extreme spoon player is!




Supplies:
1 Sorry game + Chalk + Large Driveway or Cemented Area


Set Up:
Draw a life-size Sorry board with chalk.
You could do it by color like in the real game,
or just with white chalk.

Divide into teams.
Probably 4 on a team will work best.
It would be fun for each team to wear their color too,
like the blue team wears blue shirts, etc.


How to Play:
Play exactly like the real Sorry game, but instead 
use the life-size board and use people as the games pieces.

Use the cards from Sorry just like in the real game
to start, move, switch, etc.

The winning team is the one to get to HOME first!
