Five Classic Summer Games

Summer's the perfect time to get active with the kids in the great outdoors. It's healthy and fun with "classic" games like these:

Freeze Tag. Similar to "regular" tag, one person is "it" and chases the other players to tag them. When someone is tagged, they must freeze in place. The game ends when all players are frozen.
Kick Ball. Similar rules to baseball. All you need is medium-size soft ball and space for the bases and outfield.
Sprinkler Splash. No pool? No problem! Don your bathing suits, turn on the sprinkler and enjoy. (Make sure to follow any community watering restrictions.)
Hopscotch. Get sidewalk chalk to draw the grid and a smooth stone to use as a marker.
Jumping Rope. Whether it's single rope or Double Dutch, show the kids your stuff!
