All the old games we played back in my day are great for kids of this age. Red Rover, Red Rover What Time is it, Mr. Fox?

The Outer Limits >Know any good ones? > >Thanks > >S Yeah, my son is pretty easy. Give him a hockey stick, a net and a street hockey ball and he's all set for hours. ;) JennP. Easy outdoor games for 7-8 year olds ... catch tag, freeze tag ... red rover kickball (don't need a whole team) capture the flag soccer (4 on 4 or 3 on 3 or just play with the ball, but no hands) swingball (requires a set, but endlessly entertaining and doesn't need much space -- much like tetherball but with lighter ball and small rackets) basketball (lower the net!) Do you want something more formal, with rules, or just running around and playing? --Beth Kevles bethkevles@gmail.PUT-THE-COM-HERE http://web.mit.edu/kevles/www/nomilk.html -- a page for the milk-allergic Disclaimer: Nothing in this message should be construed as medical advice.

Jump rope and double dutch. Dodgeball. Kids by that age are definitely playing baseball/wiffleball and touch football. Wall ball (which the kids call by a less-than-attractive version of tushies up). Barbara > Know any good ones? There is a game played with two paddles and a ball, where the players hit back and forth without letting the ball bounce on the ground. I don't know what it is called, but it looks fun. There's also badminton. Besides fun games, I think age 7 or 8 may also be a good time to send a child to lessons in a "serious" (but also fun) game that he or she can play for a lifetime. I took tennis lessons for a few years, and I enjoyed playing tennis with my dad until I left for college. When my children are a little older I'd like to start playing again with them. |
