Night Games have been big for awhile, I am sure if you have kids over the age of 5 you know!

Throw a Glow in the Dark Game Night Party!

Glow in the Dark Crafts (I found these in the Family Fun magazine):

Swing Comet Tails

You will need:

Tennis ball

Glow in the dark fabric paint

Craft knife

Glow in the ark plastic string (you can get this at craft stores)

Tacky glue

-Decorate the ball with the fabric paint. Let is dry under a light or in  a sunny spot to charge the paint (you can sit it on a bottle cap so it doesn’t roll)

-Use a craft knife to cut a half inch long slit int he painted ball

-Form a looped handle by folding a 30 inch length of a string in half, then double knotting the ends together

-Squeeze the ball to open the slit, and push the knot into the hole. Add a dab of tacky flue to the slit to secure the string.

Night Sky Tees

You will need:

Black or navy blue T-shirt, pre washed

Con-Tact paper

Cardboard

Fabric paint (recommended white and silver glitter)

Foam paintbrushes

Glow int he dark paint (recommended white, orange and green)

Cotton swabs

-On the Con-Tact paper, trace a round plate for a planet or draw a waning moon and stars.

-Cut the shapes from the paper to create a stencil, then peel off the backing and press the stencil onto the shirt.

-Insert a piece of cardboard between the shirt layers to keep the paint from bleeding through.

-Use a paintbrush to fill in the shapes with fabric paint (recommended white for the planet and moon, silver glitter for the stars)

-After the paint dries, add a layer of glow in the dark paint (recommended orange for the planet, white for the rest) 

-When that is dry, peel off the stencil.

-Add green glow in the dark rings to the planet.

-For small stars, use a cotton swab to dab glitter paint dots onto the shirt.

-Follow the fabric paint insturctions for setting the design and washing your shirt.

Cricket Chirper

-Use scissors to cut the pointed tips from two 10-inch wooden skewers

-Thread fifteen 1/2 inch beads tightly together onto each one and use tacky glue to secure the end beads to the skewers.

-When the glue is dry, play your instrument by rubbing the beaded sections against each other
 

Game Idea:
Capture the Moon

You will need:

 4 or more players

Soccer ball

Flashlight

-In an open area, one player, the Astronaut, stands with a flashlight near the soccer ball moon.

-He yells, “Blast off!” then closes his eyes and starts to count while the other run and hide.

-When he reaches 29-the number of days in a lunar cycle-the Astronaut calls out, “Full moon.” Players then try to grab the ball with out being caught in the flashlight’s beam.

-To make things more interesting, have the Astronaut turn off the light in-between tags to sneak up on players.

-When a player is caught in the light, he’s out.

-The fist person to pick up the ball or the last player left o be tagged is the new Astronaut.
