Electronic gadgets have become a bane for parents when they see their children addicted to them. Therefore, parents should be more innovative to draw their children out of this stupor. Parents should try some outdoor activity that would include all family members.

Try some pool activity that would entail playing games

A pool party will always prove successful because it will give you time to cool off and have some fun with pool games and sports. Water polo or pool basketball can be a lot of fun for the whole family.

Create your own splash pad

This is simple and could offer everybody a lot of fun. At the bottom of your slide, place a tarp. Then, put a sprinkler on it, in a place where no one will bump into it. Lastly, turn the water on! Start sliding on the tarp and make those big splashes as you hit the water.

Summer is finally here!! #summerfun #longweekend #backyardsplashpad #soakingupthesun

Water balloon games

This is a cheap way to have really great fun. Water balloons are usually used for balloon fights. How about trying baseball? How about a balloon piñata using a plastic bat. Purchase some of those oversized party balloons, fill them up with water, then hang them on the patio ceiling. Now take turns swinging the plastic bat at the piñata with eyes closed or blindfolded.
