Outdoor Games are a lot of fun to play for any age group. A lot of kids like to create their own games as well so I’ll show you how to add a twist to some outdoor games as well. I’ll show you how to entertain a large group for an outdoor party with many different games to play. It tends to get boring, even for kids, playing the same games all the time. So this will help them learn new games and hopefully have a lot of fun in the process!
1) Bridge Tag is just a small variation off of regular tag. They’re both great outdoor games though! The person designated IT must count to 10 and then run after everyone. If he/she tags someone then they have to make a themselves into a bridge. The only way for someone to free them they have to crawl under the bridge without getting tagged. Play continues until the person IT has tagged everyone.
2) Butt’s Up is my favorite Outdoor Game to play as an adult or a kid! This game will need at least two people, a tennis ball and a wall to throw it against. The first person throws the ball against the wall. As it’s bouncing back toward the players someone has to catch it and throw it against the wall again. When catching it you cannot drop it! Once you’ve touched the ball it can’t touch the ground. If you catch it successfully then you throw it against the wall and repeat until someone drops it or tries to throw it against the wall and it hits the ground first. If a player drops it, they must immediately run and tag the wall before the other player picks it up and throws it against the wall. If you touch the wall first you’re safe, if not you get a point. If the second player also drops the ball they must do the same. First to 3 points loses.
3) 21 is a lot of fun too. I hope you’re not thinking about Blackjack because I said 21! This is an Outdoor Game for kids specific to basketball. If you have an odd amount of people or you just don’t feel like playing an intense game of basketball then 21 is for you! The object of the game of course is to get to 21 points OR knock everyone out. First everyone takes turns “breaking the ice” by taking foul shots. The first to make a foul shot gets 2 points for breaking the ice and gets to go first. Each foul shot after breaking the ice is worth 1 point. When the foul shooter misses the other players go for the rebound and obviously try to score. Scoring off of the rebound gets you 2 points. Two tricks – 1) When the foul shooter misses, if one of the players catches the rebound with both hands, in the air, and makes the basket without touching the ground then the foul shooter goes back to zero! 2) Same concept, but if the player catches it with one hand and makes the basket in the air then that knocks out the foul shooter completely. They must wait for the next game to start. Also, the foul shooter can only make 3 in a row. If that happens they get the ball at the top of the key and try to make a basket against the other players defense.
That’s just a few outdoor games for you to play with friends or family when having people over for a party or just a get together. There’s a lot to do outdoors and this is just the beginning, so keep an open mind and throw a twist on any game you like to play.

The 10 Most Popular Extreme Sports
Saturday, January 16th, 2010Extreme sports are those which are characteristically thrilling, owing to the high level of risk involved. They often include extremes of physical exertion or speed, or height. Danger is always present, and this adds to the thrills experienced. Many people enjoy watching extreme sports, rather than participating themselves. The popularity of extreme sports has increased in recent years, especially amongst young people.
One reason behind the evolution of extreme sports is the technological development which has made them possible. Most people do not experience much risk in everyday life, and this too adds to their attraction. People seek the thrill, and enjoy the attention it receives as well.
The Ten Most Popular Extreme Sports
Surfing
The surfer uses a board to glide along on a breaking wave. There are now two classifications of surfing, based on the design of the board and riding style. These are short and long boarding. Surfing is said to have been developed long ago in Polynesia, and came to the rest of the world when Europeans first observed it.
Windsurfing
This sport uses a surfboard with a sail, by means of which the rider can skim across the surface of the water. Thus it combines elements of surfing and sailing. The sport developed in the latter part of the twentieth century.
Hot Air Ballooning
This technology was the first form of human air transport. The balloon contains a bag which holds the hot air, and the passengers are carried in a wicker basket which hangs underneath. Hot air ballooning is now a sport, and modern structure includes fire resistant materials for the mouth of the balloon.
Mountain Biking
In this sport the bike rider rides over rough ground on a mountain bike or hybrid road bike. There are four classifications in mountain biking: street riding, downhill, freeride and cross country. Mountain biking has now developed as an extreme sport, and there is now a hall of fame to celebrate the achievements of early mountain bikers.
Hang Gliding
A hang glider is an aircraft which you can launch yourself, and which you then guide in the air by means of shifting your weight. You can also steer them by means of aircraft control technology. Modern hang gliders can perform aerobatic stunts and can fly long distances and at significant height.
Paragliding
The techniques of flying and launching a paraglider are similar to those in hang gliding. There are no solid supports in a paraglider. The paraglider pilot needs to possess understanding of relevant engineering technology and aircraft design, as well as weather conditions. Rough weather can cause a high degree of risk in this sport.
Skydiving
Skydiving, or parachuting, is when a person falls (on purpose) from a height, supported by a parachute. Early jumps were from hot air balloons in the eighteenth century, and it became an international sport in the mid twentieth century. It is now popular both as a recreation and as a sport.
Mountaineering
This sport is enjoyed as a recreational activity as well as a sport, and combines elements of hiking, trekking and walking. The original intention was to reach high places, where no one had trekked previously. It then developed into a physically demanding sport. Some people enjoy mountaineering in the snow, others prefer rocky climbs.
Ice Climbing
This sport means climbing up icefalls and ice covered rock faces. There are two variations, water ice climbing (on cliffs or under waterfalls), and alpine ice climbing (in the mountains). The equipment used varies according to things such as the type of slope and ice texture.
Bungee Jumping
This extreme sport involves jumping from a height, whilst attached from above by a long elastic cord. The jumper usually jumps from a structure such as a crane, bridge or high building. The jumper falls free until caught and bounced up and down by the cord, and this provides lots of thrill.
