This is the right time for you and your kids to go outside and have some nice time. Outside can means your backyard or in the sidewalk. Here’s some ideas to spend your time with your kids during the summer!

2. Play Nature HuntAsk the kids to find 10 living and 10 non-living things. This can make them learn what kind of creature living among them. Parents, you can make this even challenging by giving them some reward after they completed the challenge. Give them some candies after they completed the challenge! This can make them study while playing and they don’t even realize it!
Grab a beach ball and a water gun, ask them to shoot the ball, the one who can shoot the ball to the finish line first, can be the champion! The more the merrier!
4. Driveway Arcade
This game calls for full on focus and careful aim! Grab some cans and a ball, stack the cans about 2 feet apart. From the starting line, challenge the kids to roll the ball through the cans without knocking down the cans! If they didn’t knock down any cans, they got 2 points. If they knock down any cans, they got 1 point. The kid who got the highest score, win!
5. Play Hop ScotchGrab some chalk, colorful ones would be fun to play with, draw them on the streets and make the kids hop on the circles! This activity can make your kids express themselves.

9. Set Up a Play TentBuy a tent or use some sheet to build a tent, or pvc if you’re feeling creative, use that tent with your kids, to read books, play games, or just chilling out outside the house, feeling all the sun in the summer time!
10. Backyard TwisterThis is the same twister game that we used to play at our phone, but the difference is, we play it on the ground! Buy some paint, paint some color, red, yellow, blue and green. And play it just like you usually was! This can bring a lot of laughter because you need to move your body as flexible as you can.
Those are the recommendation for those of you who’d love to play in the outdoor during the summer! Have fun and go outside!!!
