The girls like to play a version of hide and seek that involves being captured and dragged to a room where they have to stay until someone releases them. That one is exhausting. I always have sparklers which they love. The kids love the fish pond, but my yard isn't set up for running around in. We walk Howie and play hide and seek with him. The shorties have a choice between sleeping over without their electronics or staying home. So far they always choose our house
Actually, I whole heartedly agree. No wonder there is concern over the health of the young generation.
I Googled it. What a hoot!

Thanks for the tip Pam! I don't have kids but this tip sure brings back memories of my childhood. When I was a kid I spent most of my time outside playing games like those you mentioned or just playing outside period. If I wasn't doing that stuff I was riding my bicycle or skateboard. I hated to stay inside the house when I was a kid. That's how my parents used to punish me for bad behavior...."Go to your room!"...lol.
We used to play all these games as kids, there were 14 children in my neighborhood, all of us within a year of being the same age. When we all turned 10 we had a block birthday party! What a blast!
That sounds like a blast, indeed! We had so many fun games that we played outside when I was growing up. There were dozens of kids in my neighborhood; always a group to play with.
