Get Dad out in the yard on Father’s Day with a silly, summery twist to this winter game. Replace the usual pucks and sticks with swimming toys. Here’s how:

Place goals at each end of a rectangular play area (use pairs of cones or make our pool noodle goals; directions below). Divide the players into teams and give everyone a pool noodle (cut in half for smaller players), then set them loose trying to hit a beach ball into the goal.

DIRECTIONS:

Use hollow pool noodles to make goals for your game. For each, hammer 2 chopsticks or 1/4-inch dowels (cut 10 to 12 inches long) halfway into the ground about 3 feet apart. Slide the noodles into place.
