7 GAMES TO PLAY IN THE GARDEN
With the summer and a bit of open space such as courtyards and private gardens, staying indoors is just not good. Here are 7 games to play in the garden.
Ball
Playing outside always means playing ball. You can decide what type of ball to adopt according to the age of the children, how much space is available, the height of the gates and the presence or absence of vehicles parked nearby. The advice is to start with a foam ball and then adapt to the surrounding environment.
Small house and symbolic game
Garden houses are perfect for stimulating symbolic play. The “let’s pretend that …” so to speak. And then with a little house left at the disposal of the little ones, it becomes perfect for inventing a thousand different situations and growing together. In our catalog you will find many models and structures, such as the Hansel and Gretel house.
Skipping rope
An outdoor area is perfect for practicing skipping rope . Alone or in company, fun, exercise and outdoor activities combine.
Sand
Playing in the sand is another irresistible activity for children. Fantasy and manipulation find great space. To create the perfect sand corner, we recommend our washed sand and crab sandbox , which can be closed with the lid.
Slide
It takes very little to transform the garden or the backyard into a playground in which to romp. And what evokes a playground more than a slide ? Slipping engages the little ones in a physical activity that also implies a knowledge of their own body and the control that can be exercised over the movements.
Bowls
The bowls are a classic piece of outdoor fun for everyone. You can play in two or more and you can also organize small team tournaments. In short, a game that can involve the whole family.
Gardening
It is not a game but it is certainly a very engaging and educational activity. Let’s talk about gardening , which allows you to spend time outdoors learning a lot about flowers and plants.
