OUTDOOR GAMES FOR KIDS

Here are several no-tech games that you might remember enjoying as a child. Some of them can be done inside. Some activities can be completed alone or with a single friend. However, the majority of them work better when done in a group outside. Additionally, by establishing your own rules, you can alter or enhance the majority of these games. Put your imagination to use! Find some outdoor games for kids in this article.,

HIDE AND SEEK: outdoor games

This is one that everyone has played. As hiding and finding are frequent interests for young children, most parents have played with their children. There are instances when you can count to 20, 10, or 100. You can rush to your home base to become “safe” on occasion, but other times you just have to wait to be discovered. The basic concept is that one person, called “it,” counts blindly to a predetermined number while keeping their eyes closed, then seeks out the other participants. Ideally, there should be three or more players.

KICK THE CAN: outdoor games

Tag and hide-and-seek are also variations of this game. A can is put in the center of the playing area, and one person or a team is identified as “it.” The “it” conceals its eyes and counts to a specific number as the other people flee and hide. Then “It” starts looking for everyone. If a player is captured by “it,” they are placed in a holding area for players. The players who have been captured are released if one of the un-captured players succeeds in kicking the can. Once every non-“it” player is in the holding pen, the game is done. Minimum of three players is preferred. Metal can to be used as equipment.

CAPTURE THE FLAG: outdoor games

With a large group, this game is most enjoyable. Divide the group into two teams, with a flag or other kind of marking at each team’s base. To enter the area of the opposing team, seize their flag, and then safely return to your own zone is the goal of the game. When “enemy” players enter your domain, you can tag them to put them in your jail. One person can be released from jail each time a member of their own team enters your zone, tags the prisoner, and then returns.

In some games, it is possible for all the prisoners to join hands and form a chain that would extend back into their home zone, making it simpler for other players on their team to tag them. Steal the Sticks, another comparable game, was also played. There were virtually exactly the same rules, but instead of using one flag, numerous sticks were utilized. A significant number of players and two flags or other markings are necessary.

TRAFFIC COP

The best place to play this game is on a road with little to no traffic or in a sizable paved area of some kind. Whatever is available, including bicycles, wagons, people on foot, scooters, etc., is needed. To avoid children colliding with one another, one person controls traffic. It teaches kids about waiting to cross the street and traffic safety and is more enjoyable than it seems. A modest number of players. Equipment: bicycles, carriages, scooters, and anything else with wheels.

 MARBLES: outdoor games

According to the general rules, you make a circle in the sand or on the sidewalk and then alternately try to knock each other’s marbles out of the circle with your single huge marble. There are numerous versions, just like with the other games. But because I usually seem to hurt myself when I flick the big stone into the ring, I haven’t played this game for very long. Another option is to use a marble mat with several point zones. There should be at least two players. Materials: Chalk, big and little marbles.

MOTHER, MAY I

Red Light Green Light-style rules apply to this game as well. “Mother, may I take steps forward?” a member of the group asks the individual in the front. After that, the person in the front responds with “Yes, you may” or “No, you may not.” You can add options to your requests, such taking small, bouncing, or leaping steps, depending on what you feel like. Once more, the winner and subsequent front-runner is the first player to tag the player in the lead. A modest number of players.

SIMON SAYS

Anywhere, including a car or other cramped area is a good place to play this game. Simon is one person who begins by stating, “Simon says, “[put action here],”” The action must then be performed by all. On the other hand, if Simon makes an action request without saying, “Simon says,” to start the request, that person is out. Simon will be the final contestant for the subsequent round. There are only a few players.

TAG

Everyone appears to be familiar with the game of tag, but in case you didn’t play it as a kid, here’s how you do it. Who will initially serve as “it” is decided by a group of young people. While pursuing the others, the person tries to hand-tag one of them. The individual who was just tagged is now “it.” The “no tag-backs” rule prohibits you from tagging the person who just tagged you. When everyone loses interest in participating, the game is over.
