05. Having Fun

While the majority of your block party will be organic in nature, neighbours talking to one another, etc., it can’t hurt to have some pre-planned activities for the children (and young-at-heart adults) in attendance, to help keep everyone engaged and entertained.

Activities can include tried and trusted games like the egg toss, three-legged race or even bottle bowling. You shouldn’t let your budget be the limit to the types of activities your block party includes. There are more low-budget and hi-fun activities than you think there are.
