![]() ![]() Puppy on the Loose – This is a favorite of my 4-year-old. When they get close and ask the time, Mr Fox can call out “Midnight!” and turns around and chases the group back to the starting line and tries to tag someone who would then be the new Mr Fox. Fox calls out a time such as 2 o’clock and the kids then take that many steps (2) or 4 if it is 4 o’clock. One person stands about 30 feet from the other kids with their back turned towards the group. Fox? – I saw some other kids at a playground playing this a couple of months ago. I am sure all mothers agree that the game is overused. I loved that this changed up hide and seek. Everyone keeps hiding in that spot until there is one last person searching. Then everyone searches for the person hiding and when you find that person you hide with them in their spot. In this version one person hides while the rest of the group counts. Sardines – This game is similar to hide and seek but I think it is more fun. I would run towards the middle person pretty loud and then tip toe to my spot to try to confuse them. My kids at first were very loud and obvious in which spot they were running to but once they saw me play they learned to be sneaky about the footsteps they were making. If there is no one in that spot then the person in the middle must count again. If anyone is in that spot then they are it and must count the next time. Then the person in the middle, while their eyes are still closed, calls out a number of the spot where they think someone may be standing. While they are counting, everyone else runs to a numbered spot. One person stands in the middle and counts to 10. We found posts using trees and playground structure and named each of them 1, 2, 3 and 4. I did have to “help” her with some of them but it was still fun for all of them.Ĥ Favorite Outdoor Games to Play with KidsĤ Corners – My kids say they play this at soccer but you don’t need any balls to play. They are 8 years old and they enjoyed them as well as my 4-year-old daughter. My boys actually taught me some of these games. ![]() My boys helped me come up with 4 favorite outdoor games. Usually I can just let them run around at the park and I don’t need to entertain but we were there every day for at least an hour so I had to get creative to keep it fun. Unfortunately the weather wasn’t warm enough to be at the beach all day so we spent more time at the park than we normally do. This past week we were on spring break and had a great time at the beach. ![]()
