Hopscotch
One piece of chalk can give your kids an afternoon of fun. Let them draw a hopscotch course on the pavement, encouraging them to make it as elaborate as they can.
Red Light, Green Light
One person is in charge and everyone else lines up across from them (make sure there’s a decent amount of distance). The rules of the road apply, so the person in charge calls out ‘Red Light,’ ‘Orange Light’ or ‘Green Light’ to dictate when players can move and how fast they can go. First person to reach the player in charge wins.
Skipping
Solo, with some friends or double-dutch with two ropes, this is fantastic exercise and helps improve your little one’s hand-eye coordination.
Sardines
Hide and Seek with a twist. One person hides and everyone searches for them. Once you find them, you must hide with the player without being spotted by anyone else. Players continue to hide in the same spot until everyone has found the hiding place
Stuck in the Mud
This is similar to chasing except once you’re tagged, you have to freeze. Depending on the number of people playing, one or two people are ‘on’. If you’ve been tagged, you can be unfrozen if another player can crawl between your legs. The game ends once everyone has been frozen, at which point the last two people tagged are ‘on’.
