An old-fashioned block party can be one of the true delights of summer. Getting the neighbors out and mingling is not only loads of fun but it helps keep your neighborhood safe by providing a sense of community and togetherness.

everyone must try to figure out who matches

on tricycles. A contest such as the limbo or hula hoop allows spectators and players to get involved. A watermelon or pie eating contest can be the highlight of the night. For easy pies, simply spray whipped cream into a pie pan, have people hold their hands behind their backs, lean forward, and dig in! The kids love watching their parents do it almost as much as they enjoy doing it.

later. Twenty questions remains a classic, for

Play with a Theme Food, decorations, games, even clothing, can all revolve around a theme. Fourth of July is an easy one. But Christmas in July is fun too. Break out those twinkle lights and lawn decorations! Consider incorporating a Rib Fest where everyone cooks, eats and judges a slab of ribs. If you’re all fans of a professional or college sports team, think about a sports theme. One successful block party chose an Olympic theme one year. This would be the perfect year for that! Each household chose a country then made a flag, did a game and had some food from that country. Not only was it a great learning experience for the kids but they had fun playing some new games.

Keep the Area Small

This is an activity and a decoration all in one.

Cut a bed sheet in half and paint the block name. At the party, have everyone sign it and place their handprint on it. Hang it every year from two poles or trees.

The block may be long, but don’t use all of it. Set up just a section for food, eating and registration. Have a few tables, preferably long ones to encourage people to eat with other families. Stage a registration area with nametag and house numbers. As people pick up their nametag, have them write down their email addresses to help keep everyone in touch.

You can decorate the area with balloons and festive tablecloths (especially fun if you have a theme!) Then use the rest for games, crafts and bike riding.

Set the Mood

Mix and Mingle

Volleyball and badminton are great for the sporty types but fun and funny activities really bring people together. Consider games with unlikely pairings: a parent and child relay race or grown-ups careening down the block

Have a few pre-planned, traditional games to break the ice. Consider a Neighborhood Trivia Contest (who has gone skydiving? Who has lived in more than three states?) Collect a fact from each adult in advance. At the party,

up with each fact. Plan a group photo and include a funny face shot. Email it to everyone good reason (pin a celebrity on a person’s back; they get 20 yes or no questions to determine the answer.) Don’t get too unusual or shocking in the games; the idea is just to get people mingling and talking.

Talent Show Now’s the time to reveal those hidden talents!

Maybe you have a guitarist on your street or a comedian. Encourage people to get together and plan out a short sketch or comedy piece.

Even a talented animal could have a turn in the spotlight.

You may be surprised at the

type of talent all around you (or at people’s willingness!) Use someone’s front porch as a stage and shine a light on it. A good game of charades also makes use of the front porch stage.

After Dark For this, just let the classics shine. Teach the kids how to play Ghosts in the Graveyard or Flashlight Tag. Light some sparklers. Bring out a fire pit and roast marshmallows. Sit back and enjoy the stars in your neighborhood.

Then, just think, in the morning you can relive many memories as you’re all outside, pulling in lawn chairs and picking up balloon remnants.
