July 21 is National Tug of War Tournament Day!

Get up and PLAY a few rounds of good ole' Tug-of-War with your children. Invite the neighbors or a small group of your children's friends, because July 21st is National Tug-of-War Tournament Day. Not only is the game fun, but it can be a valuable tool to teaching your children and their friends about teamwork.
