Do you remember the days when your mom would send you outside to play and said don't come back until the street lights come on? Well, yes, a lot has changed since then. Although, many would agree it's not as safe to let your kids do outside exploring on their own, you can still bring those old memories back to life, but with parent supervision. There was something adventurous and mysterious about playing those childhood games outdoors and using that creative part of your brain. During the summer months, if your kid(s) are at home, I think it's important to get some vitamin D and get them outside. Included are some old school games I am bringing back to life!
1. Hop Skotch
Get some chalk from the dollar store and hop til you drop!
2. Musical Chairs
How fun is it to scramble for a seat with your favorite tunes?
3. Hide and Seek
Ready or not? Here I come? Those words will stick with you forever.
4. Jump Rope
Skipping. One in and one out. Get those heart rates up kid!
5. Clapping Games
Miss Mary Mack, Mack, Mack! These are songs every girl should know!
6. Climbing Trees
Boys will be boys! And who said girls can't keep up too?
7. Hula Hoop
Get those hips moving and see who can hula the longest!
What was your favorite childhood game growing up? How can you turn an old game into a new memory with you children today?
