Summer Outdoor Activities

It’s always important to get our friends outside!

Here are some great outdoor fun ideas from Ms. Sharon:

  1. Scavenger Hunt
    Make it up as you go along (I bit like “I spy”), or write out a list of things in advance and have your child practice their reading as they read your list or clues.
  1. Outdoor Bingo
    Check out our Spring Bingo Blog post for and explanation and a template you can use to make your own outdoor bingo game!
  1. Obstacle Course
    Use things around the house or yard to create a fun obstacle course. Have your child to help create and design it too!
    Here are some things we used: Hula Hoops, skipping rope, sidewalk chalk, scrap wood, outdoor furniture, a ball.
  1. Water balloon t-ball/baseball
    Just like regular baseball or t-ball but make it extra fun by using water balloons ; )
  1. Bubbles
    A trip to the dollar store can yield a few fun wands or things to use to blow your bubbles. Or you can also experiment with household items, like recycled paper towel rolls (cut into smaller pieces), drinking straws, a plastic funnel, or making some shapes with pipe cleaners.
