July 21 is National Tug of War Tournament Day!

Tug of War 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.

- Happy Tugging!
Here are some links to help get your motivation (and your imagination) excited: 
Tug of War - Wikipedia (Did you know Tug-Of-War was an Olympic Sport from 1900 - 1920?)
How to Play - eHow  (Basic and Formal)
Stumps Tug of War - Spoonful (Not so sure I'm comfortable with this one.)
4-Way Tug of War - Livestrong (I'm sure we've done something similar, but Nice twist on the game.)
Toilet Paper Tug of War - Deep Fun (Not as 'dirty' as it sounds - Fir the actors of the group.)
London Bridge - Fun Indoor Outdoor Games (Seems LONG, may need to get some butcher paper and have it hung on a tree or wall with the words…)
Buy a Rope if you don't have something else you can use:
Rope to Play - Oriental Trading

Get the children excited by awarding them their very own certificates:
