Fun Outdoor Games For Children

Looking for fun summer activities for you and your kids? There are many outdoor games that you will get you and your kids moving. Some games have been around forever and still are just as much fun today as they were fifty years ago.

Tag – tag is a game where the kids chase each other and when they touch another child, they yell “Tag! You’re it.” The child that received the tag then chases the other children to try to catch them and make them “it”.

Flashlight Tag – just like the regular game of tag, but it’s played at night after the sun sets. Using flashlights, the kids tag each other with the light beams. Really fun to play when the fireflies are out.

Bull Rush – One child is selected as the “bull”. There are two points that the other children must leave from and get to – generally about 100 feet or so. The kids run to get to the other side and the “bull” tries to catch them. Once a child is caught by the bull, they become the bull’s helper to catch the other children.

Get The Carrier – This game can be a bit rough unless rules are set before the game starts. One person has the ball and the other children need to catch the person with the ball and tackle them.

Kickball – What adult does not remember the fun game of kickball? Great any day there is not snow on the ground. This game is played like baseball but with a ball. Pitcher rolls the ball to the “batter” who tries to kick it and get to first base before another play gets them out.

Dodge Ball – Another fun game that is making a comeback with today’s children. Kids try to hit each other with the ball. Players that are hit by the ball are out of the game until only two players remain. The winner is the player that has not been hit by the ball.

Water Balloon Toss – What game is more fun to play on a hot summer day than water balloon toss? Kids start by standing in front of each other about one foot away and toss the water balloon back and forth. Each time they are successful, they take a step back from each other. Kids should continue tossing the water balloon back and forth until they either do not catch the balloon and it pops or it pops on one of them. The winner is the child that did not drop the water balloon nor get wet.

Games of Imagination – the sky is the limit when kids let their imaginations run wild. Help their imaginations by setting up a stage where the children can put on plays or sing concerts. Drag out all the riding toys from the garage and have the kids set up their very own amusement park. Using their imagination they can pretend that their ride on cars are roller coasters and so much more.
