Last year I had the pleasure of 'piping for a local church's Kirkin'. After the service some folks had "miniature" games for the kids to play. They used a 6-foot 2X2 for a caber, Styrofoam balls on the ends of dowels for the hammer toss, a tug-of-war, and lemonade. I want to do something similar this year at my family reunion. There are always lots of little kids looking for something to do, and I want to introduce them to our Scottish heritage. Here's the question: what events are essential to a Highland Games? Which ones do you have to have for it to be a "real" Games? I'll take your suggestions and modify them for children, and hopefully post some pics back here after the reunion, which is at the end of July.
Thanks for your help.
