Kite flying: With warm breezes, it’s a perfect time to fly kites. This can be a fun activity for all ages.

Obstacle course: Set up a backyard obstacle course using whatever you have—cones, ropes, hula-hoops, etc. Time each other for added competition!

Capture the flag: A classic outdoor game that’s fun for larger groups. Set up boundaries and divide into teams.

Aussie rules footy: A casual game of footy can be a great way to engage the family and enjoy some friendly competition.
