3 NOVEL GAMES FOR OUTDOOR FUN Exhilarating Backyard Competition
LADDER TOSS You play this game with 2–4 people split between two teams, each team with its own three-rung ladder set 15 feet apart. Teams take turns tossing their bolas (two balls connected by a nylon rope) underhanded, earning points for bolas that wrap around a rung of the opposing team’s ladder. The higher the rung your bola wraps around, the more points you get. The first team to reach 21 points wins! JENGA GIANT This is the classic game of Jenga made giant! In Jenga Giant, two players take turns pulling wood blocks from a tower standing about 5 feet tall. Over time, the blocks become crucial to the tower’s integrity, and each pull is a gravity-defying feat. If your pull causes the tower to collapse, you are out, and your opponent has to yell “Jenga!” at the top of their lungs.
While board game nights can be fun, nothing beats playing outside in this lovely weather! Lawn games have evolved past playing horseshoes in an overgrown field. What about Jenga Giant, Ladder Toss, or Flickin’ Chicken? You’ll want to try these three family-friendly games with family and friends. Here’s how to play. FLICKIN’ CHICKEN You can’t have a backyard party without a game of Flickin’ Chicken. No, this is not a menu item at a fast food restaurant — it’s a game of skill and daring played between 2–4 capable challengers. Each player chooses one of four uniquely colored Flickin’ Chickens, which they will use for the remainder of the game. In each of the nine rounds, one player throws the target disc as far as possible. Then, the goal of the game is to toss your chicken onto the target disc in the fewest number of throws possible. After the last round, the player with the lowest score is the victor.
Spread the Word About the Camp Lejeune Water Contamination Case TIME IS RUNNING OUT
From 1953 to 1987, the water supply at the U.S. Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune in North Carolina was contaminated with toxic chemicals, exposing military personnel, their families, and civilian workers to serious health risks. The contamination was caused by leaking storage tanks, industrial spills, and improper waste disposal, leading to the presence of harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the water. Exposure to these chemicals has been linked to various illnesses, including cancers, Parkinson’s disease, kidney and liver disease, birth defects, infertility, and others. In August 2022, Congress passed the Camp Lejeune Justice Act, allowing those exposed to the contaminated water for at least 30 days between Aug. 1, 1953, and Dec. 31, 1987, to file lawsuits against the U.S. government for damages.
The Act provides a two-year window for filing claims, with the deadline set for Aug. 10, 2024. Potential claimants, including veterans, family members, and civilian workers, must submit an Administrative Claim by this date. As the deadline approaches, it is crucial to raise awareness about the Camp Lejeune water contamination case and encourage those affected to take action. By spreading the word and supporting victims in their pursuit of justice, we can help ensure that they receive the compensation and support needed to cope with the ongoing health consequences of their exposure. Time is running out, and swift action is necessary to protect the rights of those affected by this tragic environmental disaster.
