5 Creative Ways to Keep Your Kids Active Outdoors (Even After Dark!)
Keeping kids active can be a challenge in the digital age. Between tablets and video games, getting them into the fresh air is only half the battle—the real challenge is keeping them engaged!
As the days get shorter or the summer evenings get warmer, you don't have to head inside just because the sun went down. Here are 5 creative ways to turn your backyard into an active play zone for your children, featuring our favorite 4-in-1 Ultimate Game Center.
1. Host a "Mini-Olympics" Tournament
Why play one game when you can play four? Organize a backyard decathlon. Use our 4-in-1 Toss Game Frame to rotate through different stations:
-
Station 1: Classic Bean Bag Toss (Cornhole) to test accuracy.
-
Station 2: Flying Disc distance throwing.
-
Station 3: Sticky Ball target practice.
-
Station 4: Ring Toss for the final championship.
-
Tip: Keep a scoreboard and offer a small prize for the "All-Around Champion!"
2. Create a "Sticky" Math Challenge
Combine physical activity with learning! Assign different point values to the targets on the Target Shooting side of our game board. Give your kids a "target number" (e.g., 50 points) and have them throw the 8 Sticky Balls to reach exactly that sum. It’s a great way to practice mental math while running around the lawn.
3. Glow-in-the-Dark Ring Toss (The Game Changer)
The fun doesn't have to stop at sunset. In fact, that’s when the best part starts! Our set comes with 8 Exclusive Light-Up Tossing Rings. Switch on the LED rings and watch as they glide through the night air like neon UFOs. It’s a magical way to extend outdoor playtime and keep the kids moving safely in the cool evening air. It’s perfect for camping trips or late-night backyard BBQs.
4. "Target or Dare" Indoor/Outdoor Hybrid
On days when the weather is unpredictable, use the Sticking Hooks included in our 30-piece set to hang the target on a door or wall.
-
The Twist: If they miss the target, they have to do 5 jumping jacks! If they hit the bullseye, they get to choose the next game. It’s a guaranteed way to burn off that extra energy before bedtime.
5. The "Cleanup Race" Scavenger Hunt
With a 30-piece set, you might worry about parts getting lost in the grass. Turn cleanup into a game! Use the premium Carrying Bag as the "treasure chest." Set a timer for 60 seconds and see who can find and return the most bean bags, rings, and sticky balls. It teaches responsibility while keeping them sprinting until the very last second.
