Goddess Wig (Natural Red) Deluxe Adult Halloween Costume Accessory

Fire crackers and fireworks seem to have first place in the celebration of the Fourth of July, but a few 4th of July kids games and amusements of a patriotic nature or connected in some way with the symbols of the day may not come amiss.

1. 4th of July Kids Games - What Will You Do For Your Country?

• The players are seated in a row or circle except the leader who is seated in the center of the group.
• The leader begins the game by asking the first one "What will you do for your country." The player must reply immediately with a word beginning with the letter "A" such as admire it, adore it, aid it, act for it, etc., etc.
• If he does not reply promptly he must pay a forfeit or he must pay a forfeit if he uses a word whichwould show disloyalty to his country such as antagonize it, abhor it, etc. etc.
• The same question is put to each player to answer with a word beginning with the letter "A."
• Then ask the first player again, "What will you do for your country." This time the reply must begin with the letter "B" such as battle, beg, bawl or be brave for it.
• The next time use the letter "C" and so on through the alphabet.

2. 4th of July Kids Games - Rally Around The Flag

• The children take hold of hands and form a circle, except one who is standard bearer and stands in the center of the circle holding an American flag having a staff about four feet long, which is pointed so it can be easily stuck into the ground.
• The children all sing, The Union Forever, Hurrah boys, Hurrah! Down with the traitor, Up with the star; While we rally 'round the flag, boys, rally once again, Shouting the battle cry of Freedom.
• When the children sing, "Hurrah boys, Hurrah," they wave their right hands high in the air. As they sing "Down with the traitor" all stoop to the ground. As they sing "Up with the star" all jump up and the child in the center raises the flag and waves it until the last line is sung, when he places the flag in the ground.
• As the children begin to sing the third line of the verse, "While we rally round the flag, etc.," they join hands and circle around until the verse is finished, when they drop hands and run.
• While the child in the center counts one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, halt.
• If the standard bearer sees any child's feet move after he cries "halt," he has the privilege of tagging that child, who is then an ally of the standard bearer and helps tag the other children he sees moving.
• If a child can reach the flag and touch it without his movements being seen by the standard bearer or his allies he is free.
• When all have gained freedom or been caught the game is finished and may be repeated if desired, choosing a different standard bearer.
