60 SUMMER OUTDOOR ACTIVITIES FOR KIDS

SK


Posted by Sara Kendall



It’s a challenge for parents to keep their children entertained over the long
summer break. To reduce the times you hear, “I’m bored,” you need to plan ahead.
Check out these 60 outdoor activities and choose the ones that will keep your
children smiling all summer long.  


ACTIVE GAMES 

 1.  Balloon Volleyball - Set up your court by using a jump rope (or any rope)
     to divide your yard in two. Use a balloon for the ball and have players
     alternate serves. The first to 21 is the winner!   
 2.  Blanket Relay - Grab some blankets (preferably old ones) and pull your
     partner across the lawn as fast as you can. Team members switch places to
     give their partner a ride to the finish line.
 3.  Mini-Golf Course - Your garage probably has everything you need for this
     game — pool noodles, ropes, and cardboard boxes. Arrange everything on your
     driveway or in your yard to create your very own course.
 4.  Driveway Toy Car Race - Grab any type of toy car and a couple sticks of
     sidewalk chalk. Draw your start and finish lines and the lane markers in
     the driveway, and let the races begin.
 5.  Frisbee Tic Tac Toe - You will need a cheap shower curtain, colored tape
     and nine Frisbees. Tape the shower curtain to the ground, making a
     Tic-Tac-Toe grid with the tape. Stand behind a given line to throw a
     Frisbee on a square. Allow the players multiple tries to land in a square.
 6.  Glow in the Dark Bowling - Pop glow sticks into 10 bottles of water to make
     bowling pins you can use at night.
 7.  Lawn Twister - Use circular stencils and spray paint the game board onto
     your lawn for outdoor fun.
 8.  Outdoor Field Hockey - Grab pool noodles, balloons and a laundry basket to
     create a homemade version of field hockey. Use the pool noodles as the
     stick to move the balloon across your lawn to score a goal in the laundry
     basket.
 9.  Paper Boat Race - Make paper boats and race them in a kiddie pool by
     blowing through a straw to propel them.
 10. Obstacle Course - Use objects you already own like jump ropes, boxes and
     hula-hoops to create a backyard course. Your kids will be entertained and
     put their skills to the test. Encourage your children to change up the
     course with their own ideas.
 11. Shaving Cream Fight - Stock up on shaving cream. Shake can for 20 seconds,
     then an adult says, “Go.” Spray opponents from the neck down. Hose off when
     the game is over.
 12. Watermelon Seed Spitting Contest - Liven up an afternoon with some friendly
     competition. Challenge your kids to see who can aim the best or spit the
     farthest.

ART PROJECTS 

 1. Body Painting - Let kids paint themselves and each other with washable
    tempera paint, then let them wash it off in the sprinklers. Old swimsuit or
    clothes are recommended.
 2. Flower Painting - Dip the full flower into paint and use as a paintbrush to
    create unique artwork.
 3. Fly Swatter Painting - Using a fly swatter is a great twist on creating art.
    Choosing one with a unique pattern will enable your child to whip up a
    unique masterpiece.
 4. Photography Journal - Encourage your kids to record their day by taking
    photographs. It’s an interesting way to look at a day in their lives through
    images.
 5. Sun Melted Crayons - Gather up all those broken crayons along with aluminum
    foil, cookie cutters and a paper plate. Place foil on a paper plate then top
    with the cookie cutters. Add broken crayons and place in a sunny spot. Once
    melted, pop the newly formed crayons out of the cookie cutters. Then put
    your new crayons to use.
 6. Art Sale - Put those talents to good use by organizing an event to give
    back. Set up a stand and have the neighborhood kids take shifts selling
    unique artistic creations, from pottery to pencil drawings. The money raised
    can go to a favorite charity. Genius Tip: Shift scheduling coordination is
    easy with a sign up.




 BACK TO NATURE 

 1.  Build A Birdhouse - Make a birdhouse out of Popsicle sticks. Paint and hang
     for the birds.
 2.  Camp Out in Your Backyard - Your family can enjoy the great outdoors with
     the comforts of home close by. Build a fire to roast hot dogs and melt
     marshmallows for s’mores.
 3.  Design a Fairy House - Gather twigs, leaves and flowers and then add a ton
     of imagination to create a fairy house.
 4.  Favorite Park - Get a map of your local parks. Visit them all and vote for
     your favorite one.
 5.  Glow in the Dark - At night, catch fireflies in a jar to observe these
     interesting insects. Release them back to nature at the end of the evening.
 6.  Bug Hunt - Grab a clipboard, a piece of paper and a marker then head
     outdoors. A magnifying glass and a plastic jar could be fun too. Encourage
     your kids to list or draw every bug they see. For an added twist, count all
     the ants they find.
 7.  Stargazing - Learn about the constellations and print out a few star maps.
     One night you can spread out a blanket and look for these recognizable
     groups of stars.
 8.  Mud Pies - Let the kids get messy while having a ton of fun. Add water and
     mud into buckets then flip over to create mud pies. Decorate with twigs,
     leaves and flowers.
 9.  Nature Walk - Go for a walk and collect items from Mother Nature. Back at
     home make a collage out of the found items.
 10. Plant a Garden - A garden is a great way to teach kids about growing their
     own food. Between the watering and weeding, a garden will keep them
     occupied all summer, and you get to eat the harvest.
 11. Picnic at a Park - Take the kids to a state or national park to teach them
     the importance of preserving beautiful land. Take a journal or sketch pad
     along to document the experience.
 12. Farmer’s Market Visit - It’s a great opportunity to sneak in a little
     education about nutrition and get them more interested in the food they
     eat. Let your children pick something new to try.

COMMUNITY FUN 

 1. Bike Parade - Reach out to your neighbors with kids for a community parade.
    Encourage participants to decorate their ride with streamers, balloons and
    flags. Let them cruise around together as parents cheer them on.

    it down for a tasty treat. Your kids can have an adventure on their
    neighborhood block.
 3. Community Bike Wash - Grab a bucket, sponge and hose to set up a bike wash
    for neighborhood kids and raise money for a local charity.
 4. Neighborhood Game Night - Organize a multifamily competition by playing

    moms and sons. Designate a different parent to referee.
 5. Move Night - You don’t have to go to a local park to create an outdoor movie
    experience. Rent a projection screen, set up in a neighborhood yard or
    common area, spread out the blankets and enjoy with some popcorn and snacks.




 CRAFTS 

 1. Cardboard Fort or Castle - Swing by your local grocery or appliance store
    and bring back a bunch of boxes. Consider yourself part of the building crew
    since it’s likely you will be the person in charge of the cutting with a
    craft knife. Your kids can tape it up and paint their structure.
 2. Rock Art - Collect rocks and paint them for use as garden decoration,
    paperweights or pet rocks.
 3. Seashell Art - Your kids can paint, string or glue them together. The only
    things necessary are a few supplies and a creative mind.
 4. Totem Poles - Make totem poles out of paper towel rolls. On your porch or
    patio, spread out an old cloth as base camp to construct and paint this art
    project.


 MIND CHALLENGES 

 1. Map It Out - Show your kids a few examples of maps. Have them think about
    their neighborhood to create their very own map. Once drawn, take a walk or
    drive to see if you can follow along.
 2. Neighborhood Scavenger Hunt - This fun game combines a neighborhood walk
    with a scavenger hunt. Before you leave home, write down 10 to 15 things to
    look for during the neighborhood walk, such as street signs, garden
    fixtures, different trees, birds and animals. The first person to find every
    item is the winner.
 3. Ball Park Time - Go to a local baseball game and help your kids learn how to
    keep a scorecard.

    treasure hunt. Start with a homemade map you’ve stained with coffee and
    scorched the edges. Have some prizes at the end of their adventure.
 5. Take a Heads or Tails Road Trip - Every time you get to an intersection,
    flip a coin to see if you’re going right (heads) or left (tails).

WATER FUN 

 1.  Aqua Limbo - Use the stream from a water hose as the stick for a game of
     limbo.
 2.  Balloon Babies - Fill up a water balloon and draw a face on it. Wrap up in

     care of it before the balloon breaks.

     and a great substitute for a pool.

     food coloring. Once frozen, take them outside. Pop out the molds and let
     the kids build towers, trains and buildings before they all melt.

     washable tempera paint. It’s a fun way for your kids to cool off, create

     slope with the hose water running downhill. Add pool floats to increase the
     fun factor.

     tadpoles. Take your net along for some catch and release.

     Play as usual, just remember don’t aim at people’s faces.
