kids that should be in every parents mind. the rules are simple: one person is it and must tag everyone. when players are tagged, they must remain ‘frozen’ in place. i like the rule in which other players can crawl through the frozen player’s legs to ‘un-freeze’ them. similar games like capture-the-flag and keep-away are prime beach games for kids.
another favorite of ours is the long jump competition. you draw a line in the sand, and everyone takes turns running up to the line and jumping as far as they can. use another line or sticks to mark each person’s personal best. the trickiest part is pacing the run-up correctly
