fond of playing online games on PCs, mobiles and other gadgets, such things affect their physical

health. We are sharing this list of outdoor games for all parents that help them to engage their children

in some physical and fun activity.

Kick the can

In this game one person is "it" and the can is placed in the middle of the ground. The other players went to hide while the "it" covers their eyes and counts a certain number. "It" then tries to find everyone. If a person is caught by "it", they go into jail for captured players. If any un-captured players somehow kick the can, the captured players are released. This game continues until all the players are caught except “It”.


Marbles

There are various ways to play marbles like even&odd, 2 players are needed in this game, player1 holds some marble in hand, and the other guesses whether the count is even or odd. If player2 corrects he wins the held marbles otherwise he has to give the same number of marbles to player1the game continues till one player is left with no marbles.
