There are a lot of different games that can be played outside, depending on the skill level of the players, how old they are, and the options that they have available to them for where to play. If they have enough room, for example, they can play Frisbee. However, this is not usually a game for the very young (too dangerous), or the very old (too physically demanding). If it is played gently, though, most people can enjoy it.
It consists of a board with a hole in it, and that board is placed a specific distance from the players. They then throw the beanbags at it, in an attempt to place one or more of them into the hole. Because the beanbags are soft and there is no difficult physical activity, virtually anyone of any age can play this game. It is often very enjoyable, and tournaments have also been organized for this game, turning it into a sport in some areas.
Frisbee and the beanbag toss are not the only two games that are played for fun outdoors, however, many individuals also enjoy badminton, horseshoes, and other games such as hide-and-seek. The possibility for injury does exist, though, so very young children should be watched closely if they are playing the game or playing nearby. Hide-and-seek does not have as much injury potential, but allowing young children to run off and hide is also a bad idea, so parents should monitor these games closely so that they are able to remain fun for everyone.
