Spring Gaming -- Are You and Your Kids Ready?
Spring is here and the weather is warm/inviting. Your kids can feel the warmth and know it’s time to head outdoors to have some real family fun. If you’re looking for safe outdoor activities that you can enjoy this spring with your kids then you have reached the right place. Right from simple spring challenges to safe outdoor games for kids, there's a lot you can indulge in if you want! Given below are a few spring activities that everybody in the family can enjoy...
#1: Sidewalk Chalk
Is your kid artistic? Do you want to bring out the artist in him or her? If yes, then why not help your child get in touch with their creative side and have them make a canvas out of the pavement. The ideas for sidewalk chalk are many and it’s also an enjoyable activity for kids of all ages. For example, you can encourage them to create a self portrait or even outline shadows. The ideas are endless!
#2: Tag & Chase
There’s nothing like a refreshing family game of tag and chase where you have your kids have fun while burning off the energy that they collected all winter. There are a ton of ways you can experiment with tag or chase. For example, you could play something creative like the ‘Pizza Tag’ where the person who is “it” shouts out a specific “pizza topping” each of the times someone gets tagged. Then the person who is tagged is supposed to declare his/her own topping along with the ones called out before. The first participant who makes a mistake becomes the new “it”.
#3: Outdoor Relay Games
Kids love jumping and running around, which is exactly why you should choose games that involve such kind of physical activity. Even if you’re just cheering and not participating in the action, it will definitely give you the kick that can only come from outdoor relay games. When it comes to relays and races, you are not limited. Right from having a good old “potato sack race” or “lime and spoon”, you can arrange for a physical outdoor activity that is real fun.
#4: Play Ball
A fun game of toss, catch or kick the ball can turn out to be a great family bonding outdoor activity. For instance, what you can do is set up a game of “air golf”, where you’re supposed to toss small or medium sized balls through wire hangers hung from outdoor objects and trees. Just like in golf, even here the player who has the lowest score will win. In short, think out of the box to come up with more such games!
There you go! Simple and fun ideas for activities that not only your kids, but the whole family can enjoy. So what are you waiting for? Go out there and have a blast with everybody else!
