- Play with a ball outside. You don’t need a lot of space and can invent any game you like. From shooting hoops, to dividing the family in teams and playing a soccer match, to trying out hand tennis, ball tricks like bouncing the ball on your head or just good old throw and catch. Remember that by using a different type of ball or Frisbee you can make it more or less difficult.
- Hopscotch never gets old and your children will love using chalk to draw the blocks on the cement or driveway. They will develop important school readiness skills with this game.
- Skipping rope games. Two people can swing a skipping rope from side to side while a third jumps over the rope. Once their feet catch the rope, it's someone else’s turn. There are fun rhymes/songs that can go with these games, but you can make up your own or use any familiar song to give some rhythm to the game.
- Races. Have fun races by giving everyone a chance to decide what type of race to have. It could be skipping, hopping on one foot, wheelbarrow walking, running backwards etc.
- Hitting a target. This can be anything from throwing balls into a bucket to see who gets the most in or trying to hit and throw over bottles filled with water.
- Water balloon fight. Fill some balloons with water, dress in your swim wear and go wild!
