This is one of those outdoor games you can adjust to fit the space, so it's perfect to play anywhere. Choose a player to be the Leader, and have the others line up behind them. The Leader starts off, guiding the Followers and doing actions along the way that the Followers must also do.

For instance, if the leader jumps over a rock, everyone else must too. Any Follower who isn't able to do the action is out of the game. Continue until only one Follower is left. Then they become the new Leader and the game continues! Tag is one of the most popular outdoor games, and this twist is a classic.

The player chosen to be It chases down and tags the other players. When they're tagged, they freeze in place. If another player taps them on the shoulder, they can rejoin the game.

The game ends when all the players are tagged and "frozen" in place. The last to be frozen is the new It. Think of this like reverse hide-and-seek. Choose a home base and one player to be the Ghost. The Ghost runs off to hide. The others open their eyes and shout "Star light, star bright, I hope I see a ghost tonight!

Everyone tries to run back to home base before the Ghost can tag them. When the Ghost catches someone, they become the next Ghost and the game continues.

You'll need even numbers of players on each team for this outdoor game. Choose a start and finish line. When the race starts, one player on each team kneels down with their head tucked in. A second player places their hands on the first player's back and vaults over like a frog, legs apart.

When the second player lands, they crouch down and a third player hops over each, landing in front, and so on. When all players are crouched, the first player stands up and jumps over the others, continuing until they reach the finish line.

The first team to completely cross the finish line wins! Choose a finish line and select one player to stand there as Mother. The other players line up at the starting line.

She can also refuse, or give alternate directions. One player, the Stoplight, stands at the finish line, while the others line up at the start. The Stoplight turns around so they can't see the other players, and shouts "Green Light!

The Stoplight can turn around and shout "Red Light! If the Stoplight sees anyone moving, they give them a "ticket" and send them back to the start.

The first player to make it safely to the finish line wins and becomes the next Stoplight. Playing with little ones? The first player attempts a shot. Once they make it, the next player has to stand in the same place and duplicate it. If they miss, they accumulate the letter H.

Twirl each in opposite directions in unison until the two turners find their rhythm.

The third player, also known as the jumper, enters when they are ready, jumping both ropes at the same time.

The brighter the better—and try to keep them all the same size, if you can. Divide your group into two or more teams. You can give each team one or multiple flags to hide in their designated territory of the yard or park.

The kids can decide who should guard their flags and who should seek them out. For the game of spud, all you need is a ball and a group of kids. You can also assign each kid a number if you have a large group. That child must catch the ball while all the others scatter away.

Once they have the ball, the other players are frozen. The player with the ball can walk toward the closest player, taking four steps and spelling out SPUD.

Once they reach a player, the kid can roll or toss the ball toward the player trying to tag them. Balls should be aimed below the waist. If they get hit, they now have an S.

If they are missed, the ball thrower has an S. The last one standing wins this backyard game. RELATED: Backyard Science Experiments for Messy Outdoor Fun. Kids of all ages can play Freeze Dance together. Freeze dance is one of the easiest games for kids—and maybe the most fun to play.

All you need is a little bit of space and some music. Start the music and everyone in the group dances. When the music stops, everyone should FREEZE. Those you keep grooving are now out. Don't move again until the music starts. To make the game harder, keep the music off for a few seconds and see who wiggles.

For musical chairs, all you need are chairs, some tunes, and a group of three kids or more. Start by placing chairs in a circle. You want to have one less chair per person.

When the music plays, everyone walks around the circle. The object of the game is to grab a seat and sit down as soon as the music stops.

In case you need a refresher on this classic: Get all your ducklings to sit in a circle. One of the players walks around the circle saying, duck, duck, duck, duck while patting each player they pass on the head.

Whenever they want, they tap a player on the head and shout GOOSE. If they make it, the goose has to do it again. If they get tagged, they become the goose.

Use sidewalk chalk or washable paint to draw an animal or something with a "tail" on a piece of poster board or a dry erase board.

Give each player a tail with something sticky on the end such as tape. Line the kids up. The first one up gets blindfolded with a bandana, shirt, or towel. Spin them around in a circle and have them walk toward the picture to pin their tail on.

Whoever gets the tail closest wins. Place six buckets in a row to kick off this fun game for kids. These can be sand buckets, gardening buckets, or whatever your family has handy.

Think of this like reverse hide-and-seek. Choose a home base and one player to be the Ghost. The Ghost runs off to hide. The others open their eyes and shout "Star light, star bright, I hope I see a ghost tonight!

Everyone tries to run back to home base before the Ghost can tag them. When the Ghost catches someone, they become the next Ghost and the game continues.

You'll need even numbers of players on each team for this outdoor game. Choose a start and finish line. When the race starts, one player on each team kneels down with their head tucked in. A second player places their hands on the first player's back and vaults over like a frog, legs apart.

When the second player lands, they crouch down and a third player hops over each, landing in front, and so on. When all players are crouched, the first player stands up and jumps over the others, continuing until they reach the finish line.

The first team to completely cross the finish line wins! Choose a finish line and select one player to stand there as Mother.

The other players line up at the starting line. She can also refuse, or give alternate directions. One player, the Stoplight, stands at the finish line, while the others line up at the start. The Stoplight turns around so they can't see the other players, and shouts "Green Light!

The Stoplight can turn around and shout "Red Light! If the Stoplight sees anyone moving, they give them a "ticket" and send them back to the start.

The first player to make it safely to the finish line wins and becomes the next Stoplight. Playing with little ones? Give them a little extra time by saying "Yellow Light" before turning around and saying "Green Light.

Looking for outdoor games for a big group? This one's an old favorite! Divide into two equal teams, and have each team form a line facing each other, holding hands tightly.

If they can't, they join the second team. Continue with teams taking turns until one team has absorbed all of the other players.

Alternatively, you can set a timer, and when it goes off the team with the most players wins. Here's a hilarious twist on Hide-and-Seek that's especially fun with bigger groups.
