Outdoor Games for Kids

Nature Scavenger Hunt
One of the most interesting games for kids is to plan nature scavenger hunts for them. Preferably, such an activity should be carried out in the woods, or in the countryside. Start with dividing the kids into groups of five each. Next, hand them over a list of things that are easily available around the place you are visiting, such as, red flowers, leaves, a smooth pebble, a feather, etc. The kids have to look around for the things in the list and the team which comes back first with all the nature's bounties, is declared the winner.

Relay Races
Kids are always full of energy and hence enjoy races a lot, as they involve running and jogging. To make this activity fun, plan relay races, wherein children run in continuity, one after the other, and win or lose as a team! Some other interesting races are - sack races, running with hands tied at the back, three-legged races and races where they are carrying something on their heads!

Tug-of-War
Another fun outdoor game for children to play is tug of war. In this game two teams stand on either side of a line, with each child holding a common rope and then trying to pull the opposite team to their side of the line!

Field Trips
Well planned field trips combine adventure, education and entertainment, making them ideal for kid's outing. So plan a field trip to a riverside or a mountain, where the kids can participate in various activities such as trekking as well as learn about nature.

The above-mentioned games are sure to enhance your experience of the outdoors. So, plan them well, carry all the necessary equipment and most importantly, play safe!
