Classic Outdoor Games For Kids

 

It's time to take the kids off the electronics and give themselves something real.  The real stuff has much more stimuli.  The stuff we did before all this stuff... when we made our own fun outside... When us old folks had or own role play games...  it was out side with a bunch of kids

 

For fun on a hot summer day, water fights were a great way to play war!  The idea, do not get wet, and be the fastest, smartest, and craftiest person... and you will win.

 

Now quirt guns on their own just don't have the punch.  All we had was squirt guns.  But, we had this down to a science.  Each kid had: 1. a squirt gun... with a whimpy yield, good for nothing, but a great way to start out. 2. Squirt bottle.  This carried more water and lasted longer.  3. Modified liter pop bottles with holes in in the cap.  Much better yield.  4. Bucket's.  The Holy terror of water fights.. .a great aim and wet it is.  5.  Hoses, carefully hidden around the house.  The heavy artillery.  You want to make sure someone is soaked head to toe... right there!  All of these were hidden a head of time so parents had no idea we were going for an all out and in soaking and sopping experience.

 

They must be used in order... no fair just going for the most destructive water canon a kid could use.

 

It was all about hiding and running and getting the other person before they could get hit.  Somewhere, at a time not specified, a person would graduate to better artillary.  You must hide... You must be patient.  You must realize that the girls have long hair, and that was an added bonus, since it was a known fact to all boys who live, that girls never ever liked to get their hair wet, (How they washed their hair without being tortured and without developing PTSD is beyond us guys... since our short hair being washed and our attempts to run around the house to avoid PTSD, makes us fascinated how girls could have long hair in the first place... especially when they pretended they loved having their hair washed and flipping it to the horror of every guy there.  So, we were not supposed to wet girls hair, even though they acted like they did.  This was called espionage... spying to find out the secret to this girls hair "phobia and extacy"... which just confused us more.

 

Then we would start... and all hell broke loose.  Whoever won... never really one, because they were ganged up on the rest. All the girls looking for diplomatic amunity for their hair found themselves with a hair rinse by a bunch of guys, pretending they are in torture, but acting like they got tortured everyday.  Practically laughing, confusing us more!  Just making guys wondering, "Maybe they do not mind or even allow there hair to get wet because they are SUPER GODDESSES where hair wetting can never bother them.  This is what keeps the guys coming back to see this bizarre spectical of earthly girls tortured by wet hair turning into Goddess with Mermaid hair...

 

Which makes us guys and gals go back to do it again.  Much better than any platform, computer media game... it's real... with real fantasy!

 

Our kids just sit, twiddling finger to make an image on TV!

 

Yet, they could experience games in real life settings.  Gather the guys... knock on the girl's doors to come out... and, tell them... time to have a water fight... once they have one...  They will be waiting for the next time.

 

My own experience... When doing this guys?  Never underestimate the girls... they crafty and will show no mercy

 

And, maybe, guys?  You might appriciate their hair even more... which is always an added bonus... I think
