Top 7 Outdoor Games for Boys

Boys are full of energy and excitement, especially younger boys. Most parents understand that they need to have a list of games they can send their boys outside to play in order to keep them entertained, and sometimes out of the way. The following is a list of seven outdoor toys, games and sports that boys of all ages can enjoy: 1. Basketball Many older men will recall days during their youth that were spent at a local gym or at a neighbors front yard playing basketball. A basketball hoop is easy to purchase and they can either be hung on a home bought freestanding. Basketball provides a great opportunity for boys to make new friends and stay in shape. 2. Street Hockey All that is needed to enjoy a game of street hockey are a few roller blades (or even tennis shoes will work), a couple of sticks, a small tennis or racquetball, and a net. Boys can spend hours pouring out their energy on the pavement at a local school or church parking lot. 3. Skateboarding Some parents worry that skateboarding may be dangerous for their young children. Boys should not take up skateboarding until they are at least seven or eight years old, but it really offers a safe way to get out in the sun and work up a sweat. 4. Trampoline Games Many parents will purchase a trampoline as for their little boys. With all of the new safety nets and pads, trampolines are much safer and more reliable than they used to be and there are not a whole lot of sensations that give a boy a smile as big as they get on a trampoline. 5. Ball Games T-ball, wiffleball, and softball are great activities for a larger group of boys. Almost all little boys love to swing their bats around and play catch with their friends. 6. Swimming Local swimming pools provide boys with an astounding variety of games they can play with friends and neighbors. Some parents even purchase large pools that they can set up in their backyards. Parents should be sure and watch young children in the pool in order to ensure safety. 7. Hide-and-Seek No boy is ever too old to play a game of hide-and-seek. In fact, many adults will recall the game becoming more fun when they could play at a local park with their teenage friends. Boys love to play outside and release their energy. There are many other outdoor games for boys that can be played and everyone can come up with their own list.
