America Bee
1. Write up some simple questions about American history, such as "Who was the first President of the United States?", "When did America become independent?" and "How many stars did the original flag have?"
2. Have the players stand in a circle.
3. Take turns asking them questions in the form of a spelling bee. If a player gets a right answer, he remains standing. If he gets a wrong answer, he must sit down and is out of the game.
4. The last remaining player wins the game.

Puzzling Flag
1. Draw and color two large flags on two large sheets of poster board.
2. Cut the flags into large puzzle pieces, keeping the two flags separate.
3. Divide the group into two teams and have them race to see who can put their flag together first.
4. When they're finished, combine all the puzzle pieces and then see who can put their flag together first!

Firecracker!
1. Blow up enough red, white, and blue balloons for each player.
2. Divide into two teams and have the teams race to see who can pop the most balloons — by sitting on them!
3. For added fun, write a stunt on a small piece of paper, such as "Sing the National Anthem," then roll it up and stick it inside the balloon before you blow it up. When the balloon pops, that player must perform the stunt before he can try to pop another balloon!
