Summer is here, which means it’s time to spend some quality time outside with the family. If you’re looking for some fun activities to keep the kids entertained, why not try some backyard games? Here are 10 ideas to get you started:
Water balloon toss: Fill up some water balloons and have a toss with your kids. The one who catches the most balloons wins.
Cornhole: Set up two boards with holes and have your kids toss bean bags back and forth. The one who gets the most in the holes wins.
Giant Jenga: Create a giant Jenga set with some wooden blocks and have your kids try to remove the blocks without the tower falling down.
Obstacle course: Create an obstacle course in your backyard with items such as cones, hula hoops, and jump ropes.
Scavenger hunt: Create a scavenger hunt list and have your kids search for items such as rocks, flowers, and insects.
Bean bag toss: Similar to cornhole, set up a board with holes and have your kids toss bean bags through them.
Hopscotch: Draw a hopscotch board on your patio or driveway and have your kids hop through it.
Hula hoop: See how long your kids can keep a hula hoop going around their waist or try some fun tricks.
Frisbee: Play a game of catch with a frisbee or try to see how many times your kids can throw and catch it without dropping it.
Red light, green light: Have your kids line up and play the classic game of red light, green light.
