Hi readers,

Here are some of my favourite outdoor games from when I was younger! Give them a try!

1. Human Tic-Tac-Toe: This game is just like regular Tic-Tac-Toe, except you and your friends are the pieces! First, make a giant tic-tac-toe board on the ground using tape. Decide who is on the ‘X’ team, and ‘O’ team. People on the ‘X’ team will put their hands in the air, when they are standing on the board. People on the ‘O’ team will make an O-shape with their hands when they stand on the board. Whichever team has a straight line of either X’s or O’s first wins!

2. Soccer-Baseball: Do you like soccer? How about baseball? This game has the same rules as baseball, except instead of using a bat and a baseball, you kick a soccer ball and try to run the bases.

3. Story Teller: Have all of your friends sit in a circle. One person will start to tell a story, and then everyone goes around the circle and adds one word to it. At the end, you’ll have a silly story that you all helped to create!

4. Sprinkler Frisbee: Time for a splash! Playing Frisbee while running through sprinklers is so much fun! Try it for your self.
