In good weather, no one likes to stay at home, especially in the warm season, ideal for outdoor recreation. In addition to the usual games on the playground, there are many others that help to strengthen the emotional connection, friendship and just a good mood.
1. Falling bubbles
Set up the bubbles by placing the players in a line close to any barrier or barrier that is the target for the bubbles to hit. Which of the children will be able to blow a soap bubble that will reach the goal, he won. You can also place flags on the lawn at a certain distance, the winner is the one whose bubble flew away or fell further. It is better to play in calm weather.
2. Paper boat race
Make paper boats and place them on the water in the kiddie pool, but we recommend going where there is a small stream so the kids can run after their creation. If the boat reaches its destination first and, most importantly, unharmed, the child receives a reward, for example, mother’s kiss)
3. Outdoor games with a child – reading under the sky
Love to read? Take a blanket, pillows and boldly go on a journey through the pages of the magical world of fairy tales with the children. It will be an incredible adventure, and in the evening, when the stars light up in the clear sky, the fairy tale will turn into reality. Child doesn’t like books? Make up your own story by looking at the shapes of the clouds.

Provide your children with a magnifying glass and invite them on an educational trip in search of insects. You can consider not only bugs, the structure of leaves, blades of grass, fragrant flowers – all this is useful for general development and, of course, a pleasant pastime.
6. Making wreaths
If the child is tired of watching nature, invite him to create a unique decoration – weave a wreath of dandelions or ears of corn. Finding the right “material”, getting the perfect decorative piece is a real treat for little ladies.

9. Body painting
Let the children color themselves – arms, legs, face. Don’t be afraid that they will be dirty. Use finger paint that is easy to wash off and does not cause allergies. In addition to the body, you can paint an interesting shape of pebbles, but with gouache, warning in advance which paint is intended for what.

Recommended: attention games
The last, perhaps the most fun way to spend time, is moving on a mat on the grass. The child sits on his knees, rests his hands on the ground and makes movements to move forward. Thus, competitions “who is faster” are arranged. Ideal for active kids.
