35 Fun Outdoor Games for Everyone
Outdoor Games for Preschoolers
Games for preschoolers have to very basic and easy to follow. Getting preschoolers to play outdoors can sometimes be a challenge, but it’s important for their development. Fresh air and exercise are essential for strong muscles and bones, and outdoor play also helps with coordination and balance. Best of all, many outdoor games can be played with just a few pieces of equipment or even none at all. Here are some outdoor games that are perfect for preschoolers.
Red Light, Green Light
Red light green light is a simple yet fun outdoor activity that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. To play, one person is chosen to be the “traffic light” and stands at the other end of the playing area from the rest of the players. The traffic light then calls out “green light” and all of the players start running towards them.
At any point during the running, the traffic light can call out “red light” and all of the players must stop immediately. If any player is caught moving after the red light has been called, they are sent back to the starting line. The first player to reach the traffic light wins and gets to be the traffic light for the next round. Red light green light is a great way to get some exercise and enjoy time with family and friends.
Simon Says
Simon Says is a classic outdoor game that can be enjoyed by children of all ages. The object of the game is to follow the directions of the person who is Simon, without getting caught.
If Simon says to do something and you do it, then you are safe. However, if Simon does not say to do something and you do it anyway, then you are out.
The game can be played with any number of players, but it is typically best with 4-10 people. To start the game, one person is chosen to be Simon and they stand in the middle of the playing area. The other players line up behind Simon, at a distance that allows them to hear Simon’s instructions clearly.
Then, Simon begins giving commands such as ‘Simon says touch your nose’ or ‘Simon says jump in the air.’ Players must only perform the action if Simon actually says ‘Simon says’ first. If a player makes a mistake, they are out and sit down until only one player remains. That player is the winner.
Variations of this game can be played indoors as well, making it a great option for rainy days or cold weather days when you can’t go outside.
What Time Is It, Mr. Wolf?
When the weather is nice, there’s nothing quite like getting outside and enjoying some fresh air. But after a while, even the most outdoor-loving person can start to feel a little stir-crazy. That’s where games like What Time Is It, Mr. Wolf? come in handy. This simple but fun game is perfect for groups of all ages and can be played virtually anywhere.
The objective of the game is to get from one side of the designated playing area to the other without being caught by the “wolf.” To do this, players must carefully sneak past the wolf while he/she isn’t looking.
The wolf, meanwhile, must keep track of what time it is (hence the name of the game). Every few minutes, the wolf calls out a time, such as “3:00.” At this point, all of the players must freeze in place.
The wolf then takes a few steps forward and calls out another time. If any player moves before the new time is called out, they’re automatically caught and become part of the wolf’s pack. The game continues until all of the players have been caught or have made it to safety.
Outdoor Games for Kindergartners
Kindergartners are at the age where they are starting to understand more complex rules and can follow them better. Outdoor games for this age group can be a little more challenging and involved than those for preschoolers. But they should still be easy enough that kids don’t get frustrated and give up. And, of course, they should be lots of fun! Here are some outdoor games that are perfect for kindergarteners.

The game can be played with any number of players, but it is typically best with at least four on each team.
To start, each team hides its flag in a secret location. Once both flags are hidden, the two teams take up positions on opposite sides of the playing field. The objective of the game is to capture the other team’s flag and bring it back to your own base. To do this, players must use strategy and teamwork to avoid being caught by members of the opposing team.
If a player is caught, they are sent to jail and cannot continue playing until they are freed by one of their teammates. The first team to capture the other team’s flag wins the game. Capture the Flag is a great way to enjoy the outdoors and get some exercise while spending time with friends or family.

While hide and seek might seem like a simple game, there are a few tips that can help you master it. First, choose a good hiding spot. If you’re too easy to find, the game won’t be fun for anyone.
