3 weeks into summer I feel like all my kids want to do is escape the heat and play on their {insert electronic device}.
So here is a whole fun list of fun games that will get your kids up and moving!!!!
Outdoor games to play in SUMMER
frozen t-shirt race
this was such a fun game. grab one t-shirt per player. soak with water. squeeze out and fold up.
place wax paper in between shirts and put in freezer.
when frozen– pass them out. first person who can unfold shirt and put it on wins!!!!
(took about 10 minutes to “break open” and get it on!!!
****************
paper plate with the abcs around the edge. (cut notches) Kids take a walk. When they see something that starts with that letter (bird..b) they get to place the b done.
*************
pass the water
all you need for this one is cups! you stand in a line…and the first person has the cup that is filled with water. going over their head they have to pour the water behind them for the next person to catch in their cup. repeat repeat repeat until the water is gone!
my kids started on one side of the fence…and after they would pour the water would run and get back in line. they made it all the way across the yard to the other side of the fence (and had about 1/4 cup water left!!!)
(this would make a great relay race!!!)
*****************
lawn twister 
paint some circles on the yard and get our your twister spinner
I’ve also seen this version…with colored shaving cream!!! so fun!
*****************
frozen men sliders
the night before…place some superheros in water and freeze….
we made a ramp and raced them down…the melting ice keeps them sliding…
You can also do a race to see who can melt their ice men the fastest. (without throwing it or breaking it)
I also love this idea from I am momma hear me roar
******************
make this fun ping pong stand and shoot them with water guns! 
*********************
this cheetoh toss is too much fun 
fill up hats with shaving cream and throw cheetohs into it to stick. (you could also cover a ball with shaving cream)
******************
Water transfer:
you just need big spoons, a bucket of water and a bowl for each person.
*********************
fill up a water balloon with water and food coloring and freeze. then use it as your bowling ball!!!
************************
*******************
Balloon POP
you need some balloons…and a magnifying glass.
you Pop the balloon by using the sun through the magnifying glass to burn a hole. (like you would burn wood. or ants)
if you pop an air filled balloon…it will make a pop sound.
if you pop a water balloon..it just makes a slow leak.
we raced to see who could get the water out of the balloon the fastest!
*******************
10 fun games with glow sticks!!!
so many fun games to play with glow sticks! this would make the funnest 4th of july games while you are waiting for the fireworks to start!

whoever rolls a 6 gets to splash the pan and soak everyone! (source)

frisbee toss
we have a pile of rocks that we grabbed from to make a big circle…then we threw in our frisbee to practice our aim. You could also do this with water balloons, pennies, shoes, whatever you have on hand!
*****************
