- Glasses: Make silly and fun glasses out of construction paper or cardstock.
- Drink Game (Kid-Friendly): Set up a simple drink game using juice boxes or other non-alcoholic beverages. You can create fun rules or challenges for each round. Don’t want to make your own? You can get my free “Drink If” printable game here –> Free Drinking Game
