Outdoor Game and Activity Ideas
1. Go stargazing. Grab a star chart and a blanket and lay down on the ground to look up at the stars. Research a legend or two about particular stars and constellations and tell those as well.2. Have a water fight. Make sure the hose is handy, several large buckets, big wet sponges, etc. Pre-fill a bunch of water bomb balloons if you are diligent enough to pick them all up afterwards.
3. Play cornhole games. This is basically a souped-up bean bag toss. You can buy cornhole targets or, if you're handy, try making your own.
4. Build a snow fort for some great snow play that will last until the next thaw.
5. Take a hike at your local park or nature preserve. Be sure to bring along these hiking activities.
6. Go geocaching. This is basically a gps scavenger hunt to find hidden "caches."
7. Go to the local pool for some swimming exercise. Be sure to bring along some water games.
8. Plant a garden. Watch it grow. There are lots of garden activity ideas and gardening games that you can do with your family as well.
9. Have a picnic. Bring along some healthy snacks and a blanket and head outside for a picnic lunch or dinner.
10. Go for a bike ride. Be sure to put your bike helmets on and ride safely.
