How To Diversify Your Weekend Outdoors: 7 Games For The Whole Family

There are lots of ways of improving your family relationship. Even while cooking together with your kids, you can enjoy your time. But what if you are looking for something more active, then try these outdoor games. 

Giant Jenga

You can buy the game in a store or make it yourself, which can also be a fun activity for the whole family. You'll need 21x7x4cm blocks to recreate a larger version of the famous board game. Stack three blocks per level to build a tower. Then each player removes one bar, trying not to upset the balance of the structure. The game ends when the tower collapses.

Cricket

If you play cricket professionally or net on this sport on 22Bet, you have to go into detail and know a lot of rules. For example, there are about 12 rules just about how you can take a batsman out of the game. If you plan to play with children, watch a video tutorial or optimize the rules for yourself so that everyone is comfortable and understandable.

The key goal is to get the most points. To do this, when one player kicks the ball, he runs to the post on the opposite side of the field. The player standing on that side runs towards the first, trying to take his place. The player who runs first and touches any part of his body to the ground behind the line scores points.

Badminton

If you're more into traditional games, take a closer look at badminton. If you're not going to have a professional tournament, you won't even need a net to play. Be careful when choosing shuttlecocks: feather ones are not suitable outdoors due to low resistance to wind.

Cup Races

If the weather outside doesn't allow you to play with water pistols without the threat of catching a cold, we suggest having a cup race. You'll need plastic cups and some rope. Make a hole in the bottom of the cups and slip a string through each of them. Secure the ends with duct tape to the wall so that the glasses are equidistant from it. Slide them to one edge and start at the command: under the pressure of water the glasses will move along the rope. The most accurate and fastest wins.

Race in the Bags

It's a fun relay game for a large group. Divide into teams, and at a distance of ten meters (you can do it more) put an object that participants have to jump to. Each player should pass the route and pass the baton. The team whose players are faster wins.

Frisbee

For this game, you will need a plastic disc. The task of the player is to throw it as accurately as possible in the hands of another participant. If you go on a picnic with your pet, the Frisbee is also a great option.

Target Ladder

A stepladder can be not only a great repair and household aid, but also a tool for fun games. In many ways, it's similar to darts. Designate each space between the steps as a certain scoring area. For example, the narrowest area is 50 points, the widest is 10. Take a tennis ball and try to hit the hardest areas to collect as many points as possible.

Twister

You can buy a twister mat at any toy store, or you can draw the squares yourself. The presenter unwinds the tape measure (if it is not available, then puzzles himself) and calls each person his position - which part of the body on a circle of what color to put. For example: "Jane, right foot on the red circle." You can't put several body parts on the same circle, you can't lean on your elbows or knees, you can't remove a body part from the position until the leader asks you to move it. The first one to fall loses.
