Games for Outside--what Do Your Boys Play?

Since the weather has been nice, and the neighborhood gang of boys is old enough to walk to each other's houses, it seems like most days we have a group of 3-8 boys hanging here, playing basketball, hitting the trampoline or playing Cops & Robbers. Summer has just begun and they seems to be looking for other things to play. These guys are 7-11 in age. What other things do your kids play when they have a group and are outside?

hide and seek, tag, build a fort, frisbee - and if they're good at it they can make a frisbee golf course, make a big batch of monster goo (corn starch and water) and let them do as they will - just have them wear swim trunks and hose them all off when they're done, play mad chemists with baking soda and vinegar, etc. that's all i got off the top of my head.

Nerf guns - they use their Nerf guns as Cops & robbers....they use the trees and shrubbery for hide outs.

Capture the Flag - my boys use a bandana or a towel

The pool is a great place to let them get their energy out...

I get my stop watch out and time them on who runs the fastest from the top of the street to the end of the cul-de-sac....

Bike riding - we have dare devils so they do some things that would make some mother's stop breathing....even the 7 year old - man the things he can do!!!

They have also built a fort - that was cool!!!

They also go over to the golf course and wade in the creek and get the golf balls out....

No limit to their imaginations....
