The end of summer is fast approaching, which means that the new school year is just around the corner. Before the homework and after school activities begin, make sure to help them enjoy the last few weeks of the warm weather. These activities are not only fun, they can be done right in your own backyard!<\/p>\n

Baseball
\n<\/strong>Break out your Rawlings baseball mitt<\/a> from Buydig.com and start a friendly game of baseball<\/a>. There are plenty of creative ways to play even if you don\u2019t have enough people to make up two complete teams. Try the classic game called 500 where a batter hits a pop fly and the fielders have to catch it. Points are given based on whether the ball was caught in the air or on a bounce. Or the game Flipp, where you stand in a circle and play \u201cHot Potato\u201d with your baseball glove. \u00a0You can even enjoy this sport alone if you have a Rawlings Batting Practice Protective L-Screen<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Backyard golf<\/strong>
\nMost young children don\u2019t have the attention span or the patience to play a round of actual golf on a course.\u00a0 And not every town has a miniature golf course for families to enjoy together.\u00a0 Don\u2019t let these things stand in the way of some family golf time! Play mini-golf by setting up a course in your driveway by laying out different size containers on their sides. Or for the big kids, if you have access to a large field, have a driving competition and measure the distance each person hits their ball with a Nikon Golf Laser Rangefinder<\/a> from Buydig.com.<\/p>\n

\"\"Shoot some hoops
\n<\/strong>If your kids like basketball<\/a>, H-O-R-S-E is a great way for them to practice their shots. Played with at least two people, each player attempts to miss the least amount of baskets. Once a basket is missed, the player receives a letter H, O, R, S or E. When the player misses five shots, thus earning all five letters of the word, they have lost the game.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nRaces
\n<\/strong>Set up cones in your yard, driveway, or if you\u2019re fortunate enough to live on a dead end street, block the street off if your neighbors don\u2019t mind and organize some multi-wheeled races. You can accommodate kids of any age with trikes<\/a> for the youngest, 3-wheeled kick scooters<\/a> and 2-wheeled scooters<\/a> for your elementary aged racers, skateboards for your older kids, and of course bikes for kids of all ages.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\nRainy day fun
\n<\/strong>On days when the weather doesn\u2019t cooperate, you can still be actively involved with your kids indoors.\u00a0 There\u2019s an endless amount of fun to be had on the Samsung 40\u201d Ultra HD Smart LED TV<\/a>.\u00a0 Easily find and play your kids\u2019 favorite movies, TV shows and games with the Samsung Smart Hub.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

There are so many options for outdoor fun you and your kids will enjoy. The best part about backyard games is you don’t need very much to keep the kids entertain<\/p>\n
