8. Traffic Sign Toss ~ A good old fashioned game of ring toss using paper plates for rings and construction cones to toss rings on.

9.  Red Rover ~ A fun classic group game.  Divide children into two teams and have them line up about 30 feet apart or more. Each team calls out “Red Rover, Red Rover send ________ “.  The child that is called runs to the other team and tries to break through their joined hands. If the child breaks through then they take an opponent back to their side.  If they can’t break through they must join the other team.

10. DIY Pool Noodle Race {Ramblings from Utopia} ~ My kids love this activity. They will race marbles and toy cars for hours. It’s a perfect indoor activity for a rainy day or can be taken outside so you can enjoy some sunshine.
