How to play
Set up a giant bowling alley in any large open area — a parking lot works well, with the lane marked out in chalk. Use a large ball and oversized pins (empty 2-liter bottles are perfect). Players take turns bowling down the lane, scoring a point per pin knocked over. For extra chaos, let the other players line the sides of the alley and kick or push the ball as it passes — limited to one touch each, and only in the direction of the pins.

Packing Peanut Tower
Divide your group into even teams. Designate an area for each team to use to build their tower. Provide each team with an even distribution of supplies - packing peanuts and toothpicks. Explain the rules of the challenge to your group - each team will get the same amount of time (5-15 minutes, depending on what suits) to build the tallest freestanding tower they can out of only packing peanuts and toothpicks. When the time runs out, teams must stop building their towers and let them stand freely on their own. If the tower falls down, that's too bad - the height is measured to its tallest vertical point. The team with the tallest tower wins!

Fruit Salad
All sit in a circle facing the center. One person in the middle says for example: "everyone with glasses". Then everyone with glasses gets up, changes seats and the one in the middle sits down. Those who are sitting can move to the seat on the right to prevent those who are standing from sitting down. The one who can't find a seat says something again and the game continues. If the one in the middle says "fruit salad" EVERYONE has to change seats.
