Games for kindergarten outside can teach children about teamwork and cooperation. Choose a game that involves a minimum of six players and two teams. Mark a playing area with flags and assign each team a home base. Teams try to steal the enemy’s flags while they try to keep their own home base. As the kids get older, you can add obstacles to the game.
Ghost in the Graveyard
There are several ways to make your children’s Halloween activities more exciting and entertaining. One way is to use a Ghost in the Graveyard game. You will need two large objects that will act as flags and a small group of people to play. First, make sure to create a boundary for each team. Next, you will need to decide who will be “it” and prepare your players accordingly.
Hide-and-seek
Hide-and-seek games are a great way to get kids moving outside. Not only are they a lot of fun to play, but they also satisfy several important developmental needs.
Children learn through observation and action, so hiding and being found is an excellent way to help them learn about others and their environment.
Bean-bag Toss
Bean-bag toss is a fun game that helps young children develop hand-eye coordination. Young children can simply toss a beanbag into the air, while older children can toss it up high and catch it with one hand. The game can be played alone or with two teams. It is also an excellent opportunity to practice juggling skills.
Slip and Slide
Slip and slide games are a great way to get kids moving and engaged in outdoor play. You can purchase store-bought ones that are cheap and flimsy, but if you want to really give your kids the best experience, consider building one from scratch.
Whether you go the DIY route or buy a commercially-available one, these activities are guaranteed to be a hit. If you are going to be spending a lot of time outside, make sure you have plenty of water on hand!
Toss
Toss games are a great way for young children to develop hand-eye coordination, concentration, and gross motor skills. There are many different games to choose from, including giant ring toss, pool noodle challenges, and disc games. Toss games for kindergarten outdoors can be as simple as throwing a playground ball, or they can get a little more challenging with objects such as plastic bottles.
