For safety's sake, start all the children out sanding their game pieces. One at a time, invite each child to come over to Station Two, don safety goggles and get in some good, satisfying pounding. As they finish sanding and pounding, move them on to Station Three for painting. Root beer flavoring can be found in many grocery stores. Take turns flipping the penny to move the marker screws up and down the rows.
Heads means two spaces and tails is one.
If your guests are too old for this simple game, try some other projects. Buy prefabricated fake birdhouses and let your guests paint them with house paint and roof them with leftover shingles. Or have them each build a simple pair of low stilts. Nail and glue the footrests about six to ten inches above the bottom of each 2 x 2. Close the party with gift bags for each guest.
