Fun Outside Games for Kids


Water guns are great fun and cool too!When the weather is nice, we all want to be outside, and we encourage our children to play in the yard. This page is the result of my searching for fun outside games for kids. I hope my research is helpful to you and will provide hours of entertainment for your children.

Jump rope and hopscotch are old favorites and popular with children everywhere. If you can’t remember those wonderful jump rope rhymes and rhythm games, it is easy to find super lists on Google.   Jump rope Rhymes is my favorite list and includes most of the ones we used and my children used too. Do you remember “teddy bear, teddy bear, touch the ground” or “Cinderella dressed in yellow”?

Yoyos and hula hoops can also provide hours of outdoor fun!   These are very old toys and inexpensive, which is a bonus anytime!   You can arrange contests for the neighborhood children or even have a hula-hoop party for all the youngsters.  Remember, when you arrange an event, hours of practice will be required by all the children – providing hours of pre-party play outside.

Purchase a large supply of various sizes of balls and outdoor ball games will quickly become part of your children’s day.

Water guns, water hoses and water slides are a great addition to your summer fun yard!

Enjoy your summer with the kids!  Have some fun!  Remember that providing fun outside games for kids makes the summertime more pleasant for the grownups too!
