Summer is a great time to get outdoors and play with your kids!  Whether that’s climbing a tree, taking a nature hike or swimming in the pool, any form of excerise is good for the heart and body.

I also enjoy spending time outdoors with my friends and neighbors during the summer.  My husband and I like to invite them over a barbecue or two when it’s extra warm outside and the sun sets later in the evening.  This way the party can go way into the night!

However, ever year the same question arises.  What do we do with the kids while the adults are socializing outside?  So, to help you plan your next summer soirée, I have come up with a list 13 Outdoor Summer Games For Kids!  In fact, these summer outdoor games are so fun, they’re perfect for any occasion including kids playdates, day camps and Vacation Bible School.

Have fun playing and happy summer!
