Play a gigantic game of checkers. Use chalk to draw a checkers board and gather items from nature for the pieces!

Have a jump rope contest. Have a jump rope competition with a friend to see who can skip for the longest amount of time.

Toss a balloon. Hit a balloon into the air and see how long you can keep it off the ground.

Have a game of ground darts. Use a jump rope placed in a circle shape on the ground as a target and water balloons as darts. Take turns throwing the balloons with a friend to see who can get them closest to the target!

Have a bubble blow-out! Line up shoulder-to-shoulder with friends. One person blows a bubble and catches it on her wand. Then she passes it to the next player, who passes it to the person beside them, and so on. See how long you can go without popping the bubble!

See you later, readers!
