Does anyone know any active games for kids?

Question

It can't be anything too common like simon says or tag or red light green light. I'm trying to come up with something a little different. There's quite a few kids in my neighborhood. Any help?

Answer 1

WiiFit? Or handball, basketball, sports.

Answer 2

How about Capture the Flag?

There are two teams:

Team 1 has the front yard and Team 2 has the back yard, or a field is split between the two teams.  The teams are given a time period, like 5 minutes, to hide their flag in their part of the yard.  

[optional] During this period spies are sent out to see where the flag are hidden as well as look-outs to catch the spies.

When the flag has been hidden you call out that you are finished. Then you simply try to get the other teams flag. If you get caught and tagged by the opponent on their territory you have to go to jail and can only be freed by a teammate who grabs you when your opponent isn't looking.

The first team to capture the flag wins.  In most versions you have to both get the flag and bring it back to your side.

Answer 3

We always liked blind man's bluff- where one kids chases the others with a blind fold on, and if they touch anyone they get to go next.

But a few times a kid wanted to be chosen so they let themselves get caught.

Also, don't do it near a busy street for obvious reasons.
