Rustle up a game of one-hand touch football for an active, action-packed afternoon. Part tag and part football, the rules and scoring can be as simple or as complicated as the players want—but no tackling!
Cooler weather makes outdoor activities all the more welcome.
There are tiny fall treasures hidden in plain sight, all over your yard—if you know where to look! See if you can spot some of nature’s wonders tucked away in your backyard, neighborhood, park, or playground. This family-friendly game is always ready and waiting to play, right outside your door.
Spend an evening relaxing with the sights and sounds of nature, snuggled up in a sleeping bag under the night sky. Look up and marvel at the moon and stars!
Cool off quickly on hot, sunny days when you add water balloon wackiness to a regular game of backyard tag. It’s a simple, silly game that gets the wiggles—not to mention the giggles—out. So, go get your bathing suits on!
Jousting was once considered the ultimate demonstration of cunning, strength, and bravery. In this game, it’s all about strategy, balance … and silliness! Young knights defend their backyard kingdom with only pool noodles for protection.
What’s more fun than waking up to a carpet of freshly fallen snow? Going outside to play in it, of course! This two-player, footprint-version of wintertime tag will have kids dashing and darting through the snow in no time. Just step outside and let the chase begin!
When winter delivers a fresh canvas of snow right outside your back door, it’s time for your inner artist to go out and play! Everyone can get into the creative spirit with colourful, easy-to-mix snow paints. Use them to turn your snowy lawn into a rainbow of graffiti art.
The snow really flies in Snow Dodgeball, a fast-paced and friendly game that’s a flurry of wintertime fun.
Who says outdoor play has to end after sunset? With inexpensive glow sticks and recycled plastic bottles, you can create a magical nighttime game of ring toss! While traditional horseshoe-style games only let 2 players complete at a time, this simpler, kid-friendly version lets everyone get in on the fun
Light up an ordinary game of tag—and keep outdoor play going long after sunset—with glow stick necklaces! In this nighttime adventure, players “disappear” into the darkness, transforming into fast-moving, glowing blurs of colour that float effortlessly in the air. It’s as much fun to watch as it is to play.
Take backyard fun to the next level with Frisbee tag, a high-flying game that combines elements of two kid favourites: keep away and tag. All you need are at least 4 players, a Frisbee, and room to run. For an extra twist of adventure, play at night! Look for a light-up or glow-in-the-dark Frisbee, and get some flexible glow sticks for players to wear on their wrists and ankles.
