Fun Games!

There are so many fun things to do especially when your a kid! It's no fun to run out of things to do so here are some fun and simple games and ideas!

1. Make an I spy sheet and walk around the neighborhood with your kid helping them find the objects along the way! This is a great way for your kid to have a nice walk and get fresh air and appreciate nature while having lots of fun 

2. Get a couple old pool noodles that are laying around your house that you don't need anymore and cut them  up in to equal pieces about 4-5 inches long. Stack them up and make a bunch of different towers out of them and think of some creative ways to knock them down. for example your kid could have to mick a soccer ball at them, or while one kid throws water balloons (or snowballs) at the towers have another kid try and catch the balloons so the towers won't knock over

3. Water Pinatas! next time a hot day rolls around pick up some really big strong balloons at the store and fill them up with water about 3/4 of the way then hang them up on your monkey bars or some rope that you can put up going across your backyard.

4. Play Dead Fish Polo! This requires around 6-8 people. 2 teams are formed and each team has there own "boat" (a section of the yard) and all around/in the "boats" are "dead fish" (wet sponges). Each team has to get in there "boat" and when you yell go they have to throw the wet sponges into the other teams "boat" when a sponge is thrown where someone can't reach it while sitting down in there "boat" then only one person can get up from the "boat" and go get the sponge but they can't throw it until they sit back down. If they do throw it before they sit down then there "boat gets" 2-3 more wet sponges put in it. The "boat"with the most sponges in it by the ens of the round loses.
