Fun outdoor games that kids love to play
The following list features classic fun games that do not require many parts or setups.
SPUD
The object of this ball game is to run as far away from the person throwing the ball as possible, as fast as possible, and to dodge the ball when it is thrown without moving your feet.
Be sure to use a very soft ball, such as a foam ball, which is specially designed to be thrown without hurting people.
How to Play
1. Start with a person in the middle. That person is the thrower, or "it." The others stand within arm's reach of the person who throws.
2. The thrower throws the ball straight up into the air. As soon as the ball is released, the player begins to run away from the thrower. As the thrower catches the ball and returns, "Spud!" and the players immediately freeze in place.
3. The thrower tries to tag the player with the ball. The frozen player can try to dodge the ball, but cannot move his feet. If hit, the player receives an "S" and moves to the center to become the next thrower.
4. If the thrower fails, repeat steps 2 and 3.
5. The game is played until all four letters "S-P-U-D" are in place, at which point the player exits the game. The game continues until there is only one player left. That player is the winner.

How to Play
