Aaah, those summer walks in the park or the woods. It seems like the perfect family pastime… until the kids tire out, amiright? Here’s the perfect new game to play if you need to motivate your kids through the miles!

One person is the spotter, and picks an item a little ways away without revealing what it is. The spotter tells the other players the color of the item, and then begins beeping.

Beep slowly when the item is far away. Beep faster as you get closer. Whoever guesses correctly is the next spotter. Well, Travis took to it right away! First he got us with this yellow sign.

Then it was mommy’s turn – an orange cone!

Don’t overlook little items, like purple flowers.

Daddy picked something green. Hmmm, what could it be? Beep beep beep. The green bench! Travis guessed.

This game kept him happy for ages and easily ate up the last mile of our excursion. What’s your favorite game to play on a walk? Please share in the comments!
