Summertime!

Summer is great, but with Texas summer comes extreme heat and therefore more indoor time than we'd like. Our boys love games, so I pulled out my copy of "Home School Family Fitness" for some ideas of indoor and outdoor games. I just printed each one on a 3x5 card so when I am in that time of "they need something to do, what do we do?", I can pull out a card and we're on our way. I printed indoor games in black and outdoor in red.

Indoor games:
Hide and Seek
Balloon Volleyball
Dodge Ball
Blanket toss (Ball on blanket, toss in air)
Simon Says
Follow the Leader
Four Square (tape on the floor or chalk on the garage floor)
Musical Ball (like musical chairs, but toss the ball around until the music stops)
Obstacle Course (use cushions, chairs, whatever and time your little one through it over and over!)
Tug of War
Golf Ball Race (roll golf balls down the stairs)
Golf Ball Balance (balance golf ball on a tee and walk)

Outdoor Games:
Basketball
Baseball
Tag
Capture the Flag
Handball (on the driveway)
Soccer
Kickball
Baby Pool and water guns (we do this one almost every afternoon in the summer)
