Sunny summer is the season of fresh flowers, bright sunshine and long unending fun. Summer, especially for children is a very glorious time. Their exams are over and school has finally shut down for the summer vacation. It is time to meet up friends and cousins and play from dawn till dusk while endless days of summer sunshine stretch before them.

Summer is the season of fun and is always associated with beach parties, barbeques and carnivals. It is the time of the year when you enjoy the fruits of hard work of the past seasons.

Sprinkler fun: When the heat gets turned on, put on your swim suits and turn on the sprinklers. Your summer games can include dancing in the sprinkler rain or musical chair, but with sprinklers.

Backyard pools: Swimming pools are best for chilling out with kids games during summer. If you don’t have a pool, set up a kiddie pool and jump in for a splashing time. You can play at races, dives or simply enjoy the swim.

Hands up!: These classic summer games where a few kids pose as cops while others posing as robbers. Trying to evade capture gets a summer twist since every ‘cop’ is holding a squirt gun. So, if you are caught beware of drenching.

Water balloon blast: There are a variety of summer games you can invent with a bucket of water and some balloons. Fill up the balloons with water (not too much) and throw it at one another while trying to avoid getting hit by one yourself.

Piñata with a twist: Most birthday parties will have piñata as part of games. For kids games during summer, we are going to evolve the piñata somewhat by replacing it with a clear plastic bag full of water. The one who hits it will get splashed.

Bull’s eye: Draw a traditional bull’s eye on a wall or even your drive way. Fill balloons with coloured water and try to hit the target. These are kids games for summer that can be enjoyed with friends and family alike.

Cowboy time: There are not many boys and girls who do not dream of the Wild West and the cowboys. Playing at cowboys and rodeos just became possible since we have replaced the horses with a standard kids’ bike.

Water relay: These kids games summer is played in a pool and the thing you are relaying to your teammate is a cup full of water. Speed as well as the amount of water left in your cup decides the winner.

Batter up with a splash: For these summer games, one team will try to throw water balloons into a bucket while the other tries to stop them by hitting the balloons away from the bucket with a baseball bat.
