Even with just 6 people, a nerf gun war is super fun!! The guns are cheap and so are the bullets! If you need more bullets, just pick up the used ones from the ground! It's just like playing a First Person Shooter in real life. Plus it's an excellent workout!
The best way to play out in a park is:
Capture the flag!
Each team has a flag
When you're shot, you have to go to a designated "respawn point" tag it and run back into battle!
If we wanted to do it in a mall or something:
Counter Strike style(but I'll put it into more PG13 friendly terms)
One team is the tagging team and has to find the treasure
One team is the hiding team and hides/protects the treasure
Once you're tagged out, you go to a "jail" where you have to be released by a teammate.
I think this would also be a great idea because it's safe and kid friendly.
The pool noodle fight is a cleaner alternative where bullets won't be all over the place. But sometimes they can hurt D:
