There are so many fun activities! How am I supposed to pick? I think categories is my favorite! For categories you have to have 5 players or more. Now, let’s play! One person will be backwards and say a category. For example, animals. He or she will name a bunch of animals. The other people playing will be on one side of the yard and when the person says their favorite animal they will run across the yard and try to get tagged. If they do, they are the category person. My favorite place to play is at my grandparents’ in the summer with all my cousins! “Cupcake.” Oh sorry, we have to go but maybe next time we can finish this category!
