Outdoor Games For Children

Outdoor Games For Children

Birthdays are very important to children, and parents love to see their kids smile when they are surrounded by friends and family and are having a good time. Planning a birthday party can be a difficult process and getting the party games right can be one of the most difficult aspects of the whole party. Here are some suggestions for having great party games both indoors and out.

Indoor

Some birthday parties will almost always require that they be played inside. This is particularly true of winter birthdays. Just because you can't go outside to play doesn't mean that you can't still have a great time and do lots of fun things inside too. Depending on the age of the child, there are many different games that can be played inside for a birthday party. For younger children, something like a bean bag toss or similar game can be a great game to play inside. It will still require some space, but most homes are able to accommodate enough space to play a game like this. For a little older crowd, you could have them all sit down and make some kind of craft or project at the table. This will probably be more popular with girls and they will want to take the extra time to make their craft perfect in every way.

For older children and even teenagers, you can have them play something like the telephone game. This is basically when the whole group of people sit in a circle to try and pass on a message without it getting all jumbled before it gets to the last person. Almost inevitably, the original message is messed up, even with only a few people in and can get very funny, especially with a large group of people. There are also many other games that can be played while sitting in a circle around a table or on the floor. Spin the bottle is one that may not be encouraged by most people, but an approved variation could still be fun for your kid and their friends.

Outdoor

Outdoor games can be very exciting and a lot of fun for everyone involved. But outdoor games really only work well if the weather is nice and isn't going to interfere with the game itself. Tag is a classic outdoor game and there are so many variations on the theme that the possibilities are almost endless. Freeze tag for younger children is fun and toilet tag for older kids can also be fun and challenging. Tag is the type of game that will either degenerate into just running around and screaming or children will get bored because there isn't enough happening. Be prepared for either situation and be ready to do something else and new quickly so that your party will stay on track.

Water balloon volleyball is a great game that can be played by older children and teenagers. The game will require a volleyball net or something similar to be set up in the yard. You'll also need a large sheet for each team participating and a lot of water balloons. Depending on the group of kids and how long the party is, you may also want to have them bring swimming suits if and when the game devolves into a water fight.

Whether you are going to have a birthday party outside, inside or a combination of both, make sure that you have enough options to keep everyone entertained and that they will have a great time no matter how many games actually end up getting played. A little creativity and some careful planning will go a long way when you are planning your next birthday party.

Jump for fun and exercise!

REVIEW: Bounce around with the Alex Little Jumpers Trampoline. For active toddlers and youngsters less than 80 pounds, this colorful trampoline with soft foam handle offers a great way to exercise indoors and expend some energy. The padded frame and non-slip rubber feet offer safer bouncing, and the fold-up legs and easy-to-remove handle make storage a snap. Little Jumpers TrampolineAt a Glance Ages: 3 years and up Weight: Under 80 pounds Requires: Adult assembly What We Think Fun factor: Durability: Ease of assembly: Educational factor: Novelty factor: The Good: The handle bar and padded cover add safety and kid-friendly features. The Challenging: 80-pound weight limit and some tricky assembly steps. In a Nutshell: A fun and colorful trampoline gets young children bouncing. Jump for fun and exercise! View larger. Colorful Padded Cover and Foam Handle for Safety. View larger. Big, Bouncy Fun Hang onto the foam handle bars, give the trampoline a bounce, and catch some air! Kids will be eager to have a go at this trampoline, which is made specifically for smaller children. Ideal for rainy days indoors, this trampoline will get kids moving. Out of the box, you'll find parts for the metal frame with attached spring legs and rubber feet, a sturdy bungee cord, trampoline mesh, padded cover, and handle bar. When fully assembled, the trampoline is approximately 34.5 inches square and 29.5 inches high. Colorful Padded Cover and Foam Handle for Safe Play The trampoline has a foam-wrapped handlebar that kids can hold onto when they're jumping around on the trampoline. This keeps young jumpers safer as they bounce around. The removable padded cover overlays the frame, guarding kids from getting their feet or legs caught between the bungee cord and frame. Kids should remove their shoes and socks and hold onto the handlebar while they jump. This toy should be used under the supervision of adults or responsible older kids. Everything You Need for Assembly and Easy Storage The Little Jumpers Trampoline will take approximately 30 minutes to an hour to assemble. The metal frame comes together and secures easily with the included bolts and Allen wrench. The spring legs pop out and into place--a nice touch that simplifies set up. The mesh cover attaches to the frame with the bungee cord. This step is a little trickier, only because you'll have to make sure the mesh stays centered as you thread the cord into the loops and around the frame. A metal cord lock, which stays under the trampoline, keeps the bungee cord in place. The final steps are to assemble the handle, fasten the padded cover to the trampoline, and then lock the handle into the handle slots on the frame. Before play, rotate the legs so the rubber feet rest flush against the floor. Getting the trampoline ready for storage is effortless because the spring legs fold and a push button allows the handle to slide out of its slot. Keep the trampoline under a bed, in the closet, in the garage, or propped in the corner of the kids' room until the next bouncing session. Video Instructions Available on Alextoys.com The illustrated instruction guide is more than adequate for assembly. But if you have Internet access and would like visual instruction on how to put the trampoline together, visit the Alex toys website to watch the assembly video. What's in the Box Four-part metal frame with spring legs, bungee cord, cord lock, trampoline mesh, padded cover, six screws, Allen wrench, and instructions. END
