I recently started walking with my Aunt and yesterday, she brought her 8yr old grandson with her. He wanted to bring the iPad while we walked and she said "no". That led to a discussion between me and my Aunt about how kids today are always parked in front of some sort of electronic device, even in the summer. Which led to my Aunt saying she always played outside as a kid and I said I did, as well. That inspired me to write a take about all the fun outside things I did as a kid. I was a 90's kid and though we had video games, computers and even cell phones, they weren't anything like they are today. So, I spent a lot of time outside.
Here's my list of 20 fun things I did outside, hope you enjoy :)
1. Playing Catch
2. Hula Hooping
3. Baseball/Basketball
4. Blowing Bubbles
5. Going to the Park
6. Flying Kites
7. Roller Blading/Roller Skating
8. Getting Ice Cream from the Ice Cream Man
I know this isn't an activity but it's still a fun summer thing to do.
9. Riding Bikes
10. Jumping on Trampoline
11. Catching Lightning Bugs
12. Selling Lemonade/Pop
13. Swimming
14. Sidewalk Chalk
15. Skip It
16. Jumping Rope
17. Running Through the Sprinkler
18. Playing with Water Guns
19. Going to a Carnival
20. Playing Croquet
That concludes my list. What fun summer outdoor activities or things in general, did you like to do?
