American each year on July 4 celebrate freedom and independence with barbecues, picnics, and family gatherings. On 4th of July 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed only by two people, John Hancock and Charles Thomson. Relay races, team games, and red, white and blue trivia are some Fourth of July party ideas. July 4th, 1776 was the day marked as American's split from Britians rule, thus, the United States established itself as a nation.

Enjoy this 4th of July free themed party game...  THE BALL OUT OF THE CIRCLE: For this 4th of July game the players get into a circle. They stand close to each other. The leader is in the center of the circle. The players pass the ball behind their backs so that the leader can't see it. The leader must guess who has the ball in his/her hands. The leader points at the player who (to his/her mind) has a ball in his/her hands. This player must hold out his/her hands forward at once. If he/she really has a ball in his/her hands, he/she becomes the leader. If there is a greater number of players you may pass 2 balls at the same time and have 2-3 leaders. Great game for that Fourth of July day.  Have fun along with the guests at the 4th of July party!
