Look for games that can be played again and again and last more than a few minutes. Invest in a game that your kids or friends look forward to playing.

Playing outside is already important for a growing child as outdoor play allows children to build skills by using all of their senses. However, if a toy or game is not fun or does not meet a child developmentally, it can be boring or overwhelming - even when played outside. Check in with your kiddos to see what they think before making a final purchase, too. Outdoor toys and games should be well made and durable. While not all might be suitable to be stored outdoors, they should at least hold up through the seasons and years of use.

If your game needs to be stored indoors, select something that you have the space for in the off-season. If you're going to be having smaller children play with the game, you'll want the game to be made of a durable material to avoid any pieces from breaking off. If any pieces break off, they can become a choking hazard for little ones with a curious mind or can simply break off into sharp pieces, posing an injury risk to everyone in the family. Consider the age recommendations on the game before purchasing.

Safety should always be a top priority. For little ones, you'll want to avoid any games or toys that are too loud, shoots objects into the air, can fit entirely in their mouths, contain small batteries or magnets, and are made with toxic materials.

Toys or games like this can pose choking or injury risks, and should be avoided altogether. Once you've determined the toy is safe and fun for the whole family, you'll also want to consider if games help your children meet any of their developmental milestones.

Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Number of Players : A small group. Equipment : Bikes, wagons, scooters, anything on wheels. This ball game is played on a square court further divided into four smaller squares, numbered one through four.

One player stands in each of the squares, with the highest ranked player in number one, lowest in number four. You bounce the ball among the players, bouncing once in the other person's square before that person catches it. When I played this as a kid, we had countless additional rules to choose from.

The person in square one got to choose the rules. Anyone who violates the rules will have to move down in the ranking, or be eliminated with another player rotating in to square four.

Number of Players : Four, unless you take turns. Equipment : A four square court or sidewalk chalk, a playground ball. Use some sidewalk chalk and make a hopscotch grid. Number the squares from one to nine.

Pick a rock that is good for tossing. Small ones can bounce too much, and larger ones are hard to throw. Start by tossing the rock onto Square 1. Hop over the rock and hop with a single foot or both feet to follow the hopscotch pattern all the way to the end. Turn around and come back, stopping on Square 2.

Balancing on one foot, pick up the rock in Square 1 and hop over Square 1 to the start. Continue this pattern with Square 2. And so on. If you toss your rock and miss the correct square, your turn is over. This game can be played with any number of people, but only one person can go at a time. If it's raining or dark or too cold, you can get indoor hopscotch mats or foam pieces, or just find a pattern on the floor to follow, perhaps using a beanbag instead of a rock.

Number of Players : One at a time. Equipment : Hopscotch grid, rock or beanbag. One of the biggest ways I spent my recess time as a young girl was jumping rope.

I got quite good at it for my age, both in speed and in skill. It was fun to jump by myself, but it was even more fun to have a long rope and jump with a couple of friends. That's where jump-rope rhymes come in.

They turn a simple exercise into a fun game, to compete against yourself and others. Then there's double dutch. I was always in awe of the older girls who could do double dutch. The first time I tried it, I got tripped up almost immediately.

However, once you understand how to do it, it isn't as hard as it looks. Number of Players : One for single jumping, three with a longer rope or for double dutch. Equipment : One or two jump-ropes. This game requires three people, or just one or two people with really good chairs.

It is easily done inside, assuming a sturdy floor. This game resembles regular jump rope in that you jump. A lot. But you jump in a pattern. Two people or chairs put their feet inside the rope and stretch them out, standing far enough apart for the third person to jump between them.

The third person, or jumper, faces one of the people holding the rope and jumps in a pattern of left, right, inside, outside and on the ropes. What pattern you use is up to you, but all the players should use the same one.

The game is started with the rope around the ankles. Once the jumper does the jump correctly, the rope is moved up to the calves.

Then to the knees, then the thighs. Usually it doesn't get any farther than that. Once you miss, it is someone else's turn. Number of Players : Preferably three, but it can be done with one or two. Equipment : A stretchy-type rope or 5 to 6 meters of rubber bands tied together in a circle.

This game can be played on any flat surface, indoors or out. The player scatters the jacks on the playing surface, often by just tossing them out of one hand, as if rolling dice. The ball is then tossed up, is allowed to bounce once, and is caught before the second bounce. The player tries to scoop up jacks and catch the ball with one hand before the ball's second bounce.

The number of jacks to be picked up goes in order. First you pick up one "onesies" , then two "twosies" , then three and so on. There are many variations to the rules of this game including things like "pigs in the pen" and "double bounces. Number of Players : Any, taking turns. Equipment : A set of jacks and a small rubber ball.

The general rules specify that you draw a circle in the sand or on the sidewalk, and then take turns trying to knock each other's marbles out of the circle with your one large marble. As with the other games, there are countless variations. I haven't played this game at length, though, because I always seem to hurt myself flicking the large marble into the ring!
