Summer is around the corner and fun kid activities and boredom busters come always handy! Today I’m bringing back one of our favorite family activities. This backyard board game is so much fun and kids of all ages love it! Ready to see it? Here we go!
For the activities I got a bunch of little games from Target and the Dollar Store. I love the crazy bright colors!
The first thing you want to do is make the “board” for the game using tape. After the board is done write with chalk on each empty space different activities that your children will enjoy. Here are some of our favorites:
The noodle fight while JUMPING on the trampoline was so much fun!
{ Even the way my daughter spelled trampoline makes me smile! }
…The kids loved the Spoon Egg Race. This was ADORABLE!
My favorite however were the simple little activities as
“Be a CLOWN”
and of course the best one of all for me… “REST FOR A TURN AND LET YOUR MAMA KISS YOU ;)”
When we were done playing it took less than 5 minutes to clean up… {ALWAYS A PLUS IN OUR HOME} We just put everything back inside of the box that I pre-labeled using vinyl…
…and cleaned the deck with water to get rid of the chalk.
As soon as you are done playing remove the tape.
Don’t keep the tape on your deck… the sun will bake the tape and you’ll NEVER be able to remove it AGAIN.
I am thinking to use the “board” idea for some other theme activities as a remedy for the “I am bored”syndrome that at least my children seem to have all summer long.
“Nature Hunts” or “Pretend School” are some of the themes that came into my mind. This board is also awesome for birthday parties. Who would think that a roll of Dollar Store masking tape could be so much fun!
