Five Fun Outdoor Games

June 1, 2021
Ready to enjoy the weather? Get outdoors with these fun and inexpensive games for any age.

1. Scavenger Hunt
Although this requires some preparation, a scavenger hunt is always enjoyable. You don't have to travel far distances to create one; it's just as fun setting up a scavenger hunt in your neighborhood.

2. Freeze Dance
Select one person to handle the music while the others dance. Once the music starts, the dancing begins. When the music ends, the dancers will freeze in place. Any dancer who moves once the music stops is automatically out. The game continues until only one person is left (the winner). Tip: Don't have a stereo or speakers? Use your phone. You could even sing!

3. Sidewalk Chalk Tic Tac Toe
Grab your sidewalk chalk and find the nearest driveway, basketball court or patio for a game of tic tac toe. Afterwards, you could even whip up a quick hopscotch diagram with any remaining chalk.

4. Obstacle Course
Keep boxes from online orders to create an outdoor obstacle course in the yard. This is also an excellent use for sidewalk chalk!

5. Simon Says
One person is designated as Simon. They begin by exclaiming, "Simon says, [action]." Then, everyone does what Simon requests. If Simon doesn't say "Simon says" when playing, those who do that action are considered out. The last person to get out is Simon for the following game's round.
