Playing outdoors is a wonderful way for children to stay active, appreciate nature and enjoy themselves, especially in the summer. Fantastic memories can be made in the garden whether it be playing games or making up your own. If you’re looking for some brilliant tips to encourage kids to get outdoors, we’ve pulled together some of our top tips from garden games, learning about nature and growing funky veg to play dates, creating an outdoor toy box, gardening and having fun as a family. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Top Tips to Encourage Kids to Get Outdoors: <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Integrate outdoor play into your daily routine<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Experiment with garden games <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Sow and grow vegetables <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Learn about nature <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Go on a bike or scooter ride<\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  6. Get creative outside <\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n
  7. Organise an outdoor play date<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  8. Create a special outdoor toy box<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  9. Get kids involved in the gardening<\/a> <\/li>\n\n\n\n
  10. Do outdoor activities as a family<\/a> <\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    1. Integrate outdoor play into your daily routine<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Integrating outdoor play into a daily routine is a fantastic way to ensure children get plenty of exercise and minimise screen time. This might include spending time in the garden, heading to the park or going for a walk locally. <\/p>\n\n\n

    2. Experiment with garden games <\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    There are all kinds of simple but fun games you can play in the garden. Why not challenge the children to hop, skip or jump their way to the finish line in a game of Wacky Races? Or draw a numbered court in chalk (use tiles or paper plates if on grass) and play Hopscotch. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Limbo is brilliant fun and all you need is a broomstick or a skipping rope along with a little music – see how low they can go!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Capture the Flag is great for groups of friends and flags can be made from a piece of coloured paper or a cloth. The first team to successfully capture the other’s flag is the winner. Red Light, Green light (rather like Grandma’s Footsteps) involves one person standing at the end of the garden with the other’s moving when the Traffic Light (or Grandma) has their back turned. Simple but highly entertaining. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Garden obstacle courses are also a brilliant way to have fun outdoors. Create new challenges using hula hoops, balls – even cardboard boxes can make the course more interesting. Remember, the best obstacle courses feature a variety of tasks to complete. Make it interesting to maximise the enjoyment factor. <\/p>\n\n\n

    9. Get the kids involved in gardening<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Gardening is a brilliant way to inspire children to spend more time outdoors. Of course, it’s even more fun when you can eat the fruits of your labour. Buy some seeds at your local garden centre and grow some vegetables. In addition to being a great outdoor activity, gardening teaches children valuable lessons about hard work, science, patience and so much more. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    10. Do outdoor activities as a family<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Children learn by example so get outside and enjoy some family time together. Come up with some fun outdoor activities you can do together as a family. This might be a daily walk to the park or a different bike ride every weekend. Whatever it is you do, it’s likely to inspire your children to want to follow in your footsteps!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
