Fun Outdoor Street Games for Kids
British Bulldog
Hop Scotch This is a classic game, first you need to draw squares on the ground using chalk, and depending on the size of the pavement slabs outsize you might be able to use them! The first player throws their marker (stone) onto the first square. ~ The marker must land within the square and not touch any of the lines around it, if the marker is touching a line or bounces out of the square then that player loses their turn! If successful then the player has to make it all the way to the end. When entering a single square the player must hop on one leg, both feet are used on double squares, one in each square. Run Outs Hide and Seek This game can be played inside or outside, I’m sure you’ve played it before but if you haven’t... One person is chosen as "IT" The others all go and hide somewhere while the person who is "IT" counts to a high number, when they’ve reached this number, "IT" shouts; "Coming ready or not!" and starts to look for the others. The first person to be found is "IT". This last game is a favourite amongst most people who love being cheeky. Knock Down Ginger This is very cheeky game, the aim is to ring a doorbell or knock a knocker loudly on a door, and then run away as fast as possible. To make this game even more exciting you can play the game but with different style such as after knocking you hide as close to the door as possible, behind a tree or just around the corner. The test comes when you try a second time on the same door, giving the owner a few moments to settle down in front of their TV, the quicker you do this the more exciting it can be. Maybe you shouldn’t try this one!!! This is an original news article © The Kids WindowTake a look at some of our children's games inside, including garden games for the whole family. | |||||||
