Unplugged Activities to Engage Kids Outside

Sidewalk Chalk

Chalk can brighten up your sidewalk as kids

get creative with drawing artwork or writing

letters, numbers, and words. The link here is

an easy recipe to make sidewalk chalk if you do

not have any on hand.

Obstacle Course

Get their bodies moving by setting up an

obstacle course in your backyard. Use

common household items for kids to run

around, in, or under. Better yet, let them

create one for themselves. Get a timer and see

how fast they can run through the course.

Examples of different obstacle courses can be

seen in the link.

Nature Scavenger Hunt

Look around your backyard for things in

nature. Create a list before heading outdoors.

What can you find? Add a twist and see what

you can hear or smell in your backyard. An

example of an outdoor scavenger hunt is in

this link.

Field Games

Dig out your water balloons, pool noodles,

hula hoops, Solo cups, and more for these fun

outdoor games and activities that will have the

whole family enjoying the warmer weather and

sunshine. The link includes many different

ideas, but be creative and add some of your

own.

Outdoor Science Experiments Science can get messy so try the experiments

outside for an easier clean up. This link

includes 30 different outdoor science

experiments that will keep kids learning and

asking more questions.
