With all the technology today getting kids to play outside can often be challenging to get kids to play outside. This is a lot different when it was my childhood. We nearly begged to go outside and play there was so much to do especially when our friends were around.
Today's parents may need to find some inspiring ways to get kids to head outside. Perhaps the best thing to do is to step back in time and recall some of the old games that you liked to play

- red rover
- mother may I
none of these games required anything extra and all were great for playing outside. Introduce the games to your children tell them stories about when you were a child. In fact why not play the games with them.
It is important to get the kids outside to play during their childhood. It helps in physical, emotional and social development. Active play outside helps fight against obesity and helps children grow up strong.
