Let’s Get Outside!

Did you know that there is a whole week dedicated to playing games outside? Well, now you do! National Outdoor Games week is May 20-27 this year, the perfect time to get outside and play. Getting outside and moving around is a great way wind down the school year and kick off summer right.

Restless legs from sitting at school all day? Get some friends together for a game of tag! Feel like your inner monkey needs to come out and play? Check out your local park and hit the monkey bars! Have the urge to see the sights? A bike ride is just the thing! The options are endless.

Of course you don’t have to quit playing outside when the week ends, you can use this week as the first of many outdoor activity filled weeks. Come visit us in the Young People’s Department for books and ideas to get things moving!
