Many children enjoy playing backyard games. There are many variations of these classics. You can do one-legged, three-legged, crab walks, or backwards races. You can call out different races at different times throughout the day. The winners are the teams with the most points at end. To make outdoor games even more enjoyable, you can buy party kits with leg bands or potato sacks. To celebrate the event, award prizes and trophies to the winning teams.

For younger kids, try a version of reverse hide-and-seek. Pick one “it” and give it to the group. The toss will reach the top of the ring when all the other players have fled, leaving the “it”, who is the one to catch the ball. If the ball bounces the player holding it must run back and swat the ball with their other hand. The timer is reset to zero and the next child becomes “it”.

Sandbox football is another favorite. This game will require a large field. One player should be designated as the “traffic cop”, and he should stand behind one the starting lines. The other players must then line up along the opposite side of field and attempt to catch the “it” before any other team. If they catch him, the rest of the team must race to catch him before the player with a sandbag catches him.

Another popular outdoor game is reverse hide-and-seek. To play, the group chooses one child to be “it” and counts to 30 while the other teammates run away from the “it” child’s location. After the tosser is over, the “it” child who finds the spot first will be the next “it”. This is a great way to get everyone moving, and it’s a great way to exercise coordination!

Reverse hide and seek is a popular outdoor sport. Each team picks a child and counts down to 30 to see if they can find him. If the ball is hit by a player, he or she must catch it before any other player can reach him. Once he or she does, the other team member must follow him or her and wait for the next round. This game is great to play with older children.

Reverse hide and seek is a popular outdoor game for kids. Each player receives an individual number. The “it” becomes the first player to catch the ball. The other players must then run to find the “it” and chase him. The ball is thrown by the last person to catch it. If you have two teams, you can play this game with different ages and sexes. However, if the game is played with more than two people, it’s not a good idea for young children.

Another outdoor game is the Spud. A small plastic bucket is called the Kan and the “it”, or teammate, must grab the flying disc from the other players. If the ball is bouncing, the child who is “it” must run back to catch it, or else he’ll lose the ball. The ball will be thrown by the last person to catch it.

Another fun game for kids is “spud.” The children form a group, and each child is the “it”. The person who is the “it” tosses the ball straight up. The other players run away. The ball must bounce, so the other players must find it and swat it. To score points for the team, the ball must bounce off the other team members.

An outdoor game for children to play is “Spud” or “spider.” The game’s name is a pigeon. It is played on a large field. The traffic cop stands behind one of the starting lines and the other players line up opposite. In this game, they try to knock each other down. They must try to catch the ball as quickly as possible and be the last to do so. This is a great family game.
