Summer Outdoor Games for Kids

Here’s a great outdoor game for kids to try… Dizzy Lizzy. It’s actually a relay, a game where two or more teams race each other while completing some challenging task or overcoming some kind of obstacle. In this case, members of each team line up and one by one run a ways out to a baseball bat on the ground. There they have to put their forehead on the bat, and keeping the other end on the ground, spin around the bat a few times (usually 3, 4 or 5 times). Needless to say, this makes you quite dizzy, and then comes the most difficult part— running back to your team so the next person can go. It’s always pretty funny to see a dizzy person try to run in a straight line, and pretty fun to try it yourself! Next time you need a fun outdoor game for kids, give it a try!
