GirlsGuideTo | DIY: Lawn Twister

One of my favorite parts of lazy summer days is playing a fun lawn game. We recently acquired a croquet set and have always played cornhole, and I've been thinking about other games that might be fun to take outdoors. Twister seems perfect: the soft grass cushions any falls, and everyone likes laying around in the yard, right? And all it takes is a little spray paint!

Ok, maybe it takes a little more than paint…Supplies needed to make Outdoor Twister:

A pizza box-or other piece of cardboard.

Craft Knife

Large mixing bowl -- or something else that is round

Pen (I know, this is probably assumed, just trying to be thorough.)

Red, blue, yellow and white spray paint

1 piece of paper

Scissors

Container of some sort to hold the slips of paper

Let’s get started! The first thing you need to do is trace a circle (mixing bowl) on a lid of a pizza box or some other piece of cardboard. Use your handy dandy craft knife/box cutter to cut it out. Throw the circle away-now you are left with your circle stencil.

Now you are ready to paint.

When you make your board, you need 4 columns. One column in each color with 6 circles of each color. Simply spray a circle, pick up the stencil and look to see if it is straight. And repeat!

If you do not have a Twister twirly thing, just use slips of paper. I know, super smart right?

Make slips of paper that say: Head, Rt. Foot, Rt. Hand, Left. Foot, Left hand. Then make color slips- red, blue, yellow and white and put each set of strips in their own jar. When it is time to play, the caller person, or whatever you want their title to be-pulled one slip out of each jar, i.e. Left Hand, Red.

Have fun!
