Get Ready to Have Some Fun: Steal the Bacon!

Are you ready to have a blast playing a super easy outdoor game? I’ve got just the one for you – Steal the Bacon! The best part? You don’t need to plan anything, and all you require is a bean bag or a ball to act as the “bacon” that everyone will be trying to get their hands on. Trust me, this game will have the kids running, laughing, and having a fantastic time!

This game is a total winner for when you want to tire those energetic kids out and make them ready for a calm evening indoors. And guess what? You can easily adjust it to fit any age group, so no one feels left out. Now, let’s dive into the fun-filled world of Steal the Bacon!

Get Set Up

Setting up the game is easy. Just decide on the boundaries for the game, like where out of bounds and the goal lines are. Then, choose a team for each player. Make sure there’s an equal number of players on each team. Finally, place the “bacon” between the teams. And you’re ready to go!

Start Playing

Now it’s time to get into the game. Every player gets a number. One player on each team will have the same number. When the adult calls out a number, the players with that number step forward – one from each team. These players then compete to see who can grab the bacon the fastest. It’s a game of speed!

Hey there! Have you ever played a fun game called Bacon? It’s super exciting! Let me explain how it works.

The goal of the game is to reach your goal line without getting tagged by the other player. But here’s the catch – you have to do it while holding a piece of bacon! If you get tagged, the other team scores a point. But if you successfully bring the bacon across your line, then you win a point! Sounds cool, right?

Oh, and there’s one more thing. If you accidentally run out of bounds while carrying the bacon, the other team automatically scores a point. So be careful!

Now, if you’re up for a challenge and want to practice your math skills, you can modify the game a bit. Instead of just calling out numbers, the adult can ask you a math question. For example, instead of saying “three,” they might say “the player with a number equal to six divided by two.” It’s a great way to have some fun while learning!

Game Over

Once a team reaches 10 points, the game is over. The team that reaches this milestone first is declared the winner.
