More summertime fun

 

There’s still 3 weeks left to summer and your children are bored and looking for something new and fun to do.  Try some simple outdoor activities that require nothing more than a ball, chalk or their feet.  Many of these games you may remember fondly from your own childhood days.

Go Out and Play – Each page is dedicated to one activity which keeps things nice and simple.  Most games are for children 5 and up and then 8 and up.  They have most of the classic games like Red Rover, Hopscotch, Duck Duck Goose, and Simon Says along with easily explained newer activities. 

Run-Jump-Hide-Slide-Splash and Get Out! – These comprehensive books have over 200 activities to try.  From the sidewalk, backyard or pool both books offer easy instructions, color photos and diagrams. 

Let’s Play – This almost reads like a storybook with the color illustrations and trivia facts about some of the games.  It has a nice section on clapping games, hand games, Jacks and marbles which may be a fun way to include grandparents. 

Enjoy the rest of summer!
