Outdoor Games to Play With Friends?

At the point when the climate gets sweltering, it’s hard not to fall into a nostalgic fantasy of your radiant, summery adolescence.

Rather than being stuck inside at work throughout the day, you spent time with your kin, closest companions, and neighbors. Quite sweet arrangement, isn’t that so?

All in all, why not reproduce your youth? Get your companions, head to a close-by park, and play like it’s 1999 (Or 1969, 1979, 1989 … we’re not judging.) once more.

1. Four Square

Before you and your sibs battled over who was the mayor of your house on FourSquare, you might’ve played Four Square, the old-school recess classic.

2. Tag

A quick game of Tag settled which sibling was destined for the track team and which was destined for the library early on in life.

3. Monkey in the Middle

Older (read: taller) siblings loved Monkey in the Middle because it could go on for hours over their poor, shorter siblings’ heads.

4. Red Rover

You secretly hoped to be called over in Red Rover, giving you an excuse to run directly into your crush’s arms.

5. Paintball Game

You can play paintball gun game with your friends in your backyard or a high class playing field if you can afford. Great Team building & bonding game for kids & for elders. You can check the Top Best Paintball Gun Beginner to Pro Tested and can buy a great gun to play all the summer.

6. Hide and Seek

You may or may not have played Hide and Seek at your eighth grade graduation party with the intent of “seeking” your middle school boyfriend for a kiss. You may or may not have broken up a week later. Love hurts

7. Hopscotch

You had to be careful with hopscotch; if you stepped on a crack, you would break your mother’s back.

8. Jump Rope

Jump rope with friends at recess was always so much fun. So why aren’t your aerobics classes at the gym just as entertaining?

9. Red Light, Green Light

All those years of playing Red Light, Green Light as a kid finally paid off when you got your license. Score!

10. Spud

Spud looked like a fun, innocent game on the surface, but you chucked the ball at your brother’s head every time he got on your nerves.

My First Blog Post

Be yourself; Everyone else is already taken.
— Oscar Wilde.

This is the first post on my new blog. I’m just getting this new blog going, so stay tuned for more. Subscribe below to get notified when I post new updates.

Introduce Yourself (Example Post)

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
What topics do you think you’ll write about?
Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
