Top 5 Summer Games for Kids of All Ages

Kids love to play the top most popular games in sport in summer anywhere they can, including in their back yards, which can be less than ideal for the gardener's plants, and at times may raise objections from near neighbors!Here are 5 summer games which will provide great fun for kids of any age:1. CricketThe archetypal summer game can be enjoyed by kids in the back yard, with a tennis ball and a cheap 'toy' bat, once they understand the basics of the game. They can play with as few as three players if they mark the stumps on a wall behind the batting position.The rules are simple for children's cricket and essentially the same as for the adult game except that all will agree the position of the boundary for a six, which will be at a fence or a flower border edge.2. RoundersRounders is believed to have been the game from which baseball is derived. Baseball is clearly the most popular in the US, but rounders is also played, and is good for children in largish back yards and on playgrounds. Rounders is now played on all levels from school-level to internationals.Rounders is more straightforward and sober-minded than baseball. However, it is is a bat and ball game and is not that dis-similar to baseball. Rounders can and is played throughout the summer by all age groups, from school children all the way up to and including senior level. It is, in fact,an English version of baseball and is normally played between two teams of nine, but fewer can play in the kids version of this game. The history of rounders is amazing long and is the sixteenth century British version of a bat and ball game that dates back to "the dawn of time". In theory, it is a descendant of the bat and ball games played by our "cavemen" ancestors.Each team takes it in turn to bat and field.For more information visit here: http://quickplay.no/
